Cold Shrink

Benefits for MV Power Systems

  • Tight Cable Sealing – MV joint or termination retains resiliency and pressure after prolonged aging and outdoor pollution exposure
  • Flexible Cold Shrink – accommodates all power cable manufacturers bend radius tolerances and recommendations
  • Reliability – high dry and wet insulation resistance for direct burial cable joint or outdoor termination
  • Outdoor Cable Terminations – excellent resistance to ozone and ultra-violet radiation
  • Versatile – Cold Shrink joints or terminations install quickly and accommodates a wide range of cable sizes
  • Dependable – proven long-term reliability and safe operation at overload temperature on MV HV power system networks
  • Time Efficient – reduced installation time for the Jointer compared to heat shrink, electrical taping or resins
