The EM Group heat shrinkable cable breakout is a high-quality sealing component specifically engineered for 4-core cable terminations. Designed to accommodate cable cross-sections from 6mm2 to 35mm2, this breakout provides a robust seal at the crutch of the cable, effectively preventing moisture ingress and environmental contamination. Its durable construction ensures that cable ends remain protected against mechanical stress and electrical faults, making it a reliable choice for maintaining the integrity of electrical systems in demanding environments.
Advantages
This heat shrinkable breakout offers exceptional electrical insulation properties, ensuring safety and performance in various power distribution setups. The material is highly resistant to chemical agents, UV radiation, and weathering, which significantly extends the service life of the cable termination. Its installation process is straightforward, providing a tight, secure fit that conforms perfectly to the cable geometry upon heating, thereby reducing the risk of insulation failure and enhancing overall system reliability.
Suitable for
- Sealing 4-core power cables
- Industrial electrical installations
- Utility power distribution networks
- Outdoor and indoor cable termination protection
When it may not be suitable
This product is specifically designed for 4-core cables and will not provide a proper seal for cables with a different number of cores. It is also not intended for use with cable sizes outside the specified 6mm2 to 35mm2 range, as this would compromise the sealing effectiveness and mechanical protection.
Key specifications
- Core count: 4-core
- Cable cross-section range: 6mm2 to 35mm2
- Material: Heat shrinkable polymer
- Application: Cable termination sealing
How to use
To install the breakout, first ensure the cable crutch area is clean and free of debris. Slide the breakout over the cable ends and position it firmly into the crutch of the 4-core cable. Apply uniform heat using a gas torch or a hot air gun, starting from the center and moving outwards towards the fingers and the base. Continue heating until the material has fully shrunk and the adhesive lining has flowed, creating a complete seal. Allow the component to cool completely before applying any mechanical stress to the cable.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify the number of cores in your cable matches the 4-core design
- Ensure the cable cross-section falls within the 6mm2 to 35mm2 range
- Check that you have the appropriate heat source for installation
Usage recommendations
Always follow standard electrical safety procedures during installation and ensure the heat source is used in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating the cable insulation.
