Thomas & Betts 2699 1/2" Duplex BX Armored Cable Connector
The Thomas & Betts 2699 is a 1/2" Duplex BX Connector engineered to join two runs of BX/armored cable to a single knockout opening in electrical boxes, panels, and enclosures. Rather than requiring two separate knockouts for two incoming armored cable runs, this duplex-style connector consolidates both terminations into one compact fitting, helping electricians make the most of available knockout space in crowded panels and junction boxes. By combining two cable terminations into a single 1/2" opening, the 2699 can help installers save panel space and reduce labor time compared with running separate connectors for each armored cable run. Manufactured by Thomas & Betts, a well-established supplier of electrical connectors and fittings, the 2699 is built for professional electrical contractors who need a dependable, code-compliant way to terminate armored cable in commercial, industrial, and residential wiring systems. The 1/2" trade size matches standard knockout openings found on most boxes, panels, and enclosures, simplifying installation.
