With the use of one thumb, the connector’s stainless steel latch is pressed to easily mate or un-mate the plug and receptacle. This latch coupling system makes it simple to use and provides a quick and reliable mating solution, which reduces time and labor required during installations. The audible click, tactile feel, and keyhole shape facilitates blind and confirmed mating, making it ideal for overhead installations, dark, or hard-to-access areas. This combination of confirmed mating helps to eliminate connection errors which can become quite problematic in large and repeated cable installations. Last, but not least, the UTL series can sustain up to 1000 mating cycles.
