Cable Gland Joint Raytech RAPID-JOINT-L10-IP68 by RAYTECH — IP68 sealed inline gel joint

RAYTECH RAPID-JOINT-L10-IP68 is an inline gel cable joint engineered to provide IP68-level sealing for electrical cable splices. The joint features a gel-filled enclosure that encapsulates conductors and insulation at the splice, preventing ingress of water, dust and contaminants. Its compact inline design delivers permanent waterproof protection and mechanical strain relief for outdoor and underground installations of power and signal cables.

Advantages

The gel-filled enclosure conforms around conductors and irregular splice shapes, creating an effective moisture barrier without the need for heat or adhesive curing. The IP68 sealing rating ensures continuous protection during prolonged submersion and harsh environmental exposure. The inline format enables straightforward integration into existing cable runs while providing mechanical support to reduce stress on the splice.

Suitable for

• Outdoor power cable splices requiring waterproof protection
• Signal and communication cable joints in buried or damp environments
• Permanent installations where mechanical strain relief is needed
• Sites where quick, tool-minimal sealing of splices is preferred

Key specifications

• Protection level: IP68-rated sealing against water and dust
• Enclosure type: gel-filled inline joint providing encapsulation
• Application: suitable for power and signal cable splices
• Installation environment: outdoor and underground use
• Mechanical: provides strain relief and protection of the splice area

How to use

Prepare the cables by stripping insulation to the required splice length and making the electrical connections according to applicable wiring standards and safety practices. Slide the gel joint housing over the prepared splice so the conductors are fully embedded in the gel cavity, then align the enclosure halves and close them following the manufacturer's closure method. Ensure that cable entries are correctly positioned to maintain continuous sealing and that any clamps or external fasteners are secured to provide strain relief.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of conductor sizes and cable diameters before installation. Use in accordance with local electrical codes and standard installation practices. Avoid exposing unopened or uncured joints to sharp objects or excessive bending at the sealed area. For buried installations, provide appropriate backfill and mechanical protection as required by site conditions.
