Ortronics CTHD4446 Compression Tap 4-station

Product Description

The ORTRONICS CTHD4446 is a compression tap connector designed for structured cabling and low-voltage distribution applications. It features a 4-station, 6-strand head configuration paired with a 4-station tap, allowing technicians to branch or split cable runs without cutting the main cable. This type of compression tap is commonly installed in telecommunications and data infrastructure work, where maintaining signal integrity across multiple drop points is essential. Licensed low-voltage installers and network cabling technicians are the primary trades that handle this component during panel builds and horizontal cable distribution runs.

The CTHD4446 fits into hardware accessory applications where a reliable, tool-actuated compression connection is required at a tap point. It is suited for structured cabling environments in both commercial and light industrial settings. The 4-station configuration supports multiple cable outlets from a single head, making it practical for closet or in-wall distribution scenarios where branch connections must be organized and secure.

Key Features

• 4-station, 6-strand head supports multiple simultaneous cable connections from a single tap point
• 4-station tap configuration allows clean branch connections off the main cable run
• Compression-style termination provides a secure, consistent mechanical connection without soldering
• Sold individually as a single unit, allowing precise quantity ordering for specific project needs
• Classified as a hardware accessory for structured cabling and low-voltage distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hardware accessory for structured cabling and low-voltage distribution systems requiring compression tap connectivity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or telecommunications cabling technicians following applicable TIA/EIA structured cabling standards. De-energize or disconnect any active signal sources before terminating or repositioning tap connectors. A proper compression tool matched to this connector style should be used to ensure full mechanical engagement. Avoid over-inserting or forcing the connector body, as improper seating can degrade signal performance at the tap point.
