Our customers asked if we could provide them with a connector that could combine the termination speed of a quick termination style connector with the secure hold of an epoxy-style connector. Since no such connector existed, FIS challenged its R &D team team to invent it.
Our engineers exceeded all expectations! The revolutionary Bobtail connector is quick to install, provides high pull strength, and is less expensive than other quick termination style connectors.
Needless to say, Bobtails generated a lot of excitement when they were "unleashed" into the marketplace just a few years ago. Since then, demand for Bobtails has grown dramatically, as more and more installers discover this unsurpassed termination solution.
