Covid Offers Holland Universal Compression Connectors

Covid now offering Holland Universal Compression Connectors

Covid announced the addition of the Holland Universal Compression Connectors and Accessories to their already extensive connector line of products.

Why Do You Need Universal Compression Connectors?
Coaxial cables vary in size depending on the manufacturer. With a wide variety of materials used to make these cables, differences in the jacket thickness and insulation diameter can cause problems when sourcing the proper compression connectors. With the Holland Universal Compression Connectors, these cable variances between different manufactures are no longer an issue. The universal compression connectors terminate most major brands of cable.

The Holland Universal Compression Connectors were created around the needs of the Commercial AV Installer. They feature a one piece connector with an all metal construction. They offer easy insertion and the patented viewing window for verification of proper termination. Covid has these connectors in stock and ready to ship along with all the necessary accessories including, compression tools, coax strip tools and color-coded application bands.

From one of the first to offer plenum HDMI cabling to revamping their wall plate and panel production facility to accommodate larger orders and faster turnaround times than the competition.
