Cold Shrink Cable Joint
It is easy for intermediate connectors on long term outdoor cables to be affected by moisture, which is why a higher insulation demand is required for intermediate connectors.
Cold shrinkable intermediate connectors feature a better water-proof performance when compared to heat shrinkable connectors, and because they are made of silicone rubber, feature a better electrical protection performance in comparison to heat shrinkable connectors made of EVA or EPDM materials.
Because of that, for outdoor locations where there is a high degree of humidity, or industries with higher safety requirements, such as automotive manufacturing, ship building, and aircraft manufacturing, usage of cold shrinkable products for intermediate protection offers a better reliability.
