Two months to be precise. I was starting to get Blog withdrawal symptoms but here I am, back behind my keyboard. So I thought I\u2019d crash land with a big one for you, something exciting! Something more exciting than that little bit of chocolate at the bottom of a Cornetto that you work your way down to (other ice creams are available). I\u2019m here to talk to you about Ferrules! You heard me right, ferrules. Those little things you pop on the end of your cable to terminate into a&#8230;well, terminal.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->So what can I tell you about Ferrules? Well Phoenix Contact sell them for a start, and a lot of them, in all colours and sizes. I can also tell you that they are very fiddly and that the bottom of my washing machine is most likely lined with them. But on a serious note, Phoenix Contact have taken a big step recently with ferrules, a step that will help customers globally and help catapult Phoenix Contact\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/online\/portal\/gb?1dmy&amp;urile=wcm%3apath%3a\/gben\/web\/main\/products\/subcategory_pages\/Tools_P-25\/3d7b966e-fe2c-4aab-ad5f-b98db236d62a?cpn=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toolfox range<\/a> to a new level.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, Phoenix Contact\u2019s Ferrules and tools have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/online\/portal\/gb?1dmy&amp;urile=wcm%3apath%3a\/gben\/web\/offcontext\/insite_landing_pages\/4c6cdbe4-2c91-4afe-8109-d1ce8dec4f00\/4c6cdbe4-2c91-4afe-8109-d1ce8dec4f00?cpn=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">UL certification<\/a>! UL 486F to be precise. US and CA with more than 200 items listed. The certification UL 486F is for bare and covered ferrules, which is a brand new ferrule standard and Phoenix Contact have it! But, you can\u2019t just buy a bag of our ferrules and crimp away with a \u00a36 pair of crimpers you bought in 1989.\u00a0 The ferrule alone isn\u2019t UL listed, neither are our crimp tools, its \u2018the system\u2019 that has UL 486F.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_gb\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_gb_0018874_en.jpg\" alt=\"UL Ferrules\" width=\"220\" height=\"233\" \/>So as you can see from the graphic neither one component on it\u2019s own achieves UL certification, you have to use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Phoenix Contact UL listed ferrules.<\/li>\n<li>Strip your copper stranded cable to 11mm.<\/li>\n<li>And then use one of either; CRIMPFOX 6, CRIMPFOX CENTRUS 6-10H, CRIMPFOX CENTRUS 6-10S, CF 500 OR CF1000 (which isn&#8217;t a bad thing as these tools are awesome).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are doing all three of this things with your cable prep then guess what.. You\u2019ve got UL.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it, that\u2019s my blog for this month. Short and sweet&#8230;like a ferrule I suppose (sorry, bad pun). But in all seriousness, UL listing is yet another step for Phoenix Contact in our journey to make our Marking and Tool range the very best available for the customer&#8230;and if nothing else it\u2019s a good excuse to ask your boss for a new set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/online\/portal\/gb?1dmy&amp;urile=wcm%3apath%3a\/gben\/web\/main\/products\/subcategory_pages\/Crimping_tools_P-25-02-02\/8ed01694-e2ed-4ef3-8f46-2d86eebdf727?cpn=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crimpfox crimping<\/a> pliers \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading, now excuse me while I finish my Cornetto \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact Andy on\u00a007786 252414 \u00a0or email: <a href=\"mailto:aneat@phoenixcontact.com\">aneat@phoenixcontact.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Andy Neat, Product Manager- Marking &amp; Installation It\u2019s been a while.
