Morris Products 97590 Multi-cable Connector 8 Port 500-4 Awg

Product Description

The MORRIS PRODUCTS 97590 is a black insulated multi-cable connector designed for high-capacity electrical splicing and tapping applications. Built for single-side entry, this connector accepts 8 ports and accommodates conductors ranging from 500 kcmil down to 4 AWG, making it suitable for large feeder runs and service entrance work. The fully insulated body protects live connections once the connector is assembled, reducing exposure risk during and after installation. Licensed electricians working on commercial and industrial power distribution installations are the primary installers of this product.

This connector is used in applications where multiple large-gauge conductors must be joined at a single point without a junction box splice kit or split-bolt arrangement. Typical install scenarios include panel feeder splices, transformer secondary connections, and tap conductor applications in commercial electrical distribution systems. The single-side entry design keeps all conductors aligned on one face, which simplifies routing in tight conduit or wireway installations.

Key Features

• 8 ports accommodate up to eight individual conductors per splice point
• Single-side entry simplifies conductor routing and reduces bend radius requirements
• Wire range of 500 kcmil to 4 AWG supports large feeder and service conductors
• Black insulated body provides protection at the connection point after assembly
• Replaces split-bolt and mechanical lug splicing methods in multi-conductor tap applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-use connector for multi-conductor splicing and tapping in commercial and industrial electrical power distribution systems. Listed as a direct equivalent to NSI IPL5008.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for conductor splices and taps. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making or breaking any connections. Use the appropriate compression or mechanical tooling specified for this connector type to ensure full conductor engagement and rated performance. Do not exceed the stated conductor range on any port.
