- Removable flange for low cost maintenance if flamepath is damaged
- One-piece contacts
- Reduced number of parts
- Ease of termination on cables
- Adjustable glands
- Simplified cold-shrink stress relief tubes
- Live-line indicators multi-phase
- Expanded Beam fibre optic integration

Innovations
KonNx and partners have been innovators of many industry firsts, as part of our continuous product development. These designs and new manufacturing processes are explored by stretching the limits of current understanding and knowledge of high voltage.
Products designed by the KonNx and AusProof teams include:
- Designed and manufactured the first 35kV coupler
- Re-designed the 11kV flameproof couplers with a removable flange
- Designed and manufactured the 22kV coupler with full phase to earth segregation
- Developed the 60A restrained plug and receptacle to have a rating of 90A
- Developed a lightweight aluminium restrained range for metalliferous mining, tunnels and pumps
“When it stands the test of time, works in the harshest conditions in the world and meets all your expectations, then you know you have a quality product.”
