In today’s fast-paced electrical infrastructure projects, the demand for cable connection products that combine ease of use, reliability, and safety is growing rapidly. Cold shrinkable cable joints have become a preferred solution across medium-voltage and low-voltage systems, offering a tool-free, flame-free alternative to traditional heat shrink joints.
The core value of cold shrink technology lies in its simplicity and adaptability. Made from pre-expanded silicone rubber or EPDM, these joints are pre-stretched on removable plastic cores. During installation, the core is simply pulled out, allowing the material to shrink onto the cable and form a tight, uniform seal—no torch or heat gun required.
1、Quick Installation
No heat source or specialized tools needed—ideal for field work, confined spaces, or urgent repairs.
2、Consistent Sealing Performance
The uniform radial pressure ensures long-term insulation integrity, minimizing voids or air pockets.
3、Improved Safety
Cold application eliminates fire hazards, especially in oil-rich or gas-sensitive environments.
4、Weather and Moisture Resistance
Excellent sealing properties against water ingress, UV exposure, and corrosion in outdoor or underground settings.
5、Wide Range Compatibility
Available for various cable sizes and voltage classes, including single-core and three-core configurations.
Cold shrink cable joints are widely used in:
·Urban and rural power distribution systems
·Industrial plants and substations
·Wind and solar energy projects
·Oil & gas and petrochemical facilities
·Mining and tunnel installations
When choosing a cold shrinkable joint, consider:
·Voltage rating: Confirm product matches your system level (1kV, 10kV, 20kV, etc.)
·Cable type: Suitable for XLPE, EPR, or PILC cables
·Conductor size and configuration: Match insulation diameter and conductor cross-section
·Environmental conditions: Look for UV resistance, waterproof ratings (IP68), and corrosion resistance
·Compliance: Ensure products meet IEC or IEEE standards for your region
