Since its introduction over 20 years ago, the Trolex Exd Connector has firmly established itself as the pre-eminent connector of choice in the industry. Many thousands have been successfully employed in oil and gas exploration and process plants, with a proven record of reliability.

No special tools or filling compounds are needed for a simple installation and assembly as the two large, accessible screw fasteners unite the connectors in seconds. The rapid disconnect features of the connector enables swift replacement or removal of critical plant equipment in hazardous areas with minimum downtime.

One of the important benefits of the design simplicity is an improved assurance of safety standards for installers and users in hazardous areas. Significant savings in installation costs are also achieved through the ease of cable termination. The uncomplicated design and strength of the connector means it is able to tolerate the hard knocks of day-to-day use in extreme operating conditions.
