Elastimold Shrink-Fit High Voltage Cable Joints are designed to joint or splice HV cables in direct-burial, underground or overhead applications.

Elastimold Shrink-Fit cable joints feature an automatic core removal without ripcords or heat required for jointing installation - the high quality mouldd EPDM rubber elastomer housing withstands the elements in harsh direct-burial, cable vault, manhole and overhead high voltage applications. Elastimold HV Shrink-Fit cable joints are rated to IEEE 404.

For over 50 years, the Elastimold brand has been associated with reliable, high-quality, pre-molded power cable splices, joints, terminations and connectors that are designed to stand the rigors of the toughest high voltage utility cable applications. Elastimold products provide a cost-effective method to splice or joint medium voltage cables using a “push-on” motion, and allowing cable neutrals to be solidly connected across the body of the cable splice without the use of any external braids. For cable jointers preferring a more range-taking solution without the use of any physical force to install, the only options available have beencumbersome heat-shrink joints that require multiple steps and the use of an open flame that may not result in uniform cable coverage, or over-designed cold-shrink products that either use awkward, entangling ripcords or expensive braid/jacket combinations that do not offer the ability to solidly connect neutrals across the cable splice.

Now there’s a faster and easier way to splice high voltage cables — a cable joint that combines all of the convenience and flexibility of a pre-molded high voltage cable joint, with the range-taking ease of installation offered in a cold- or heat-shrink product, but without the use of ripcords, heat or excessive force. The Shrink-Fit Cable Joints are made of the same moulded EPDM elastomer as other Elastimold cable accessories.
