Ergom PT 5 Heat Shrinkable Cable Breakout 5-Core 16-35mm2

The Ergom PT 5 heat shrinkable cable breakout is a high-quality component engineered for the effective sealing and protection of 5-core cable terminations. Designed to accommodate cable cross-sections between 16 and 35mm2, this breakout ensures a reliable barrier against environmental factors, preventing moisture ingress and providing robust electrical insulation for complex cable systems.

Advantages

This heat shrinkable breakout offers exceptional mechanical strength and chemical resistance, ensuring that cable junctions remain secure even in demanding industrial environments. Its heat-shrink properties allow for a tight, conforming fit that adapts to the cable geometry, effectively sealing the crutch of the cable where individual cores diverge. By providing a durable seal, it significantly extends the service life of electrical installations and minimizes the risk of short circuits or insulation failure caused by external contaminants.

Suitable for

• Sealing 5-core power cable terminations
• Industrial electrical distribution systems
• Utility and infrastructure cable management
• Outdoor and indoor cable installations requiring moisture protection

When it may not be suitable

This product is specifically designed for 5-core cables within the 16-35mm2 range and will not provide a proper seal for cables with a different number of cores or outside the specified cross-section dimensions. It is not intended for use in high-temperature environments that exceed the material's thermal rating or in applications requiring specialized fire-resistant properties.

Key specifications

• Type: 5-core heat shrinkable breakout
• Compatible cable cross-section: 16-35mm2
• Material: Heat-shrinkable polymer
• Function: Moisture sealing and insulation

How to use

To install the Ergom PT 5 breakout, first ensure the cable surface is clean and free of debris. Slide the breakout over the cable crutch until it is positioned correctly at the point where the cores diverge. Apply uniform heat using a gas torch or a heat 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 liner has flowed to create 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 5-core design
• Ensure the cable cross-section falls within the 16-35mm2 range
• Check that you have the appropriate heat source for installation

Usage recommendations

Always follow standard electrical safety procedures and ensure the heat source is used in a well-ventilated area to prevent the inhalation of fumes during the shrinking process.
