TO MAKE A BETTER SPLICE.
The 3M

710 Splicing Rig (left) improves on the 3M
™
710 Unipresser Tool (right) with new features for splice performance,
product ruggedness and user productivity.
When it comes to copper cable, good splices are
absolutely critical to reliable connections—especially
with the unprecedented demand that DSL and other
advanced technologies exert on networks today. And
there’s no better tool for a secure, high-integrity splice
than the 3M 710 Splicing Rig. Based on a ruggedized
redesign of the 3M 710 Unipresser Tool, the 3M 710
Splicing Rig is a factory-calibrated, low-maintenance
tool that makes it fast and easy to create a good splice
every time.

Every part of the 3M
™
710 Splicing Rig is designed for
consistent, reliable splices. The bridge module support
optimally locates the module to help ensure proper wire
insertion and cut-off location. The stuffer assembly features a
new stuffer tooth design that also aids in wire insertion. The
ergonomic handle helps the operator push forward and down
to create a consistent, high-quality crimp. And the new two-
piece blade features a metal blade holder that keeps the blade
from bowing and flexing when a cut is made, thus enabling a
more consistent cut-off.
A rugged, long-lasting splicing tool.
A new tool housing protects the 710 splicing rig in the field,
reducing many of the effects of rough handling—including
calibration problems. In addition, the double-duty handle can
be used to hang the rig for easy storage or transport, providing
additional protection.
The 3M
™
710 Splicing Rig features an improved red stuffer tooth
design, a redesigned bridge module support and a two-piece blade
with a metal blade holder. The older versions are featured below.
Easy to use and low-maintenance.
The 710 splicing rig allows operators to work more
productively. It’s color-coded for quick and accurate pair
identification, needs no wire retention guides to hold wires in
place during splicing, and includes a conductor group holder
that makes it easy to keep cables organized. In addition, it’s
quickly interchangeable for different splicing types—straight,
half-tap and bridge. The 710 splicing rig is also completely
hand-operated, with no hydraulic equipment required.
The tool is factory-calibrated to ensure precision and is
designed to eliminate the need for field calibration.

Part of the 3M
™
710 Splicing System.
The 710 splicing modules have been used worldwide for
more than 25 years to create high quality splices in copper
conductor cable. The 3M 710 Splicing System includes
splicing modules (including half-tap, straight and bridge
connectors), tools, supplies and replacement parts.
Used for splicing 22 to 26 AWG conductors, the 3M
™
710
Modules contain an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection)
technology designed to provide a gas-tight connection. The
modules are available either dry or filled, use only a minimum
amount of metal component parts and can easily be reopened
for maintenance without loss of customer service.
