• No crimping tools or tool maintenance required
• Short and space saving design for installation
• Improves installation reliability
• Has unlimited shelf life, simplifies material logistics and reduces cost
• Avoids bulky waste and costly waste disposal
• Exceeds international performance standards including CENELEC HD 629 or IEC 60502-4 for joints
Modern jointing
Today’s jointing technology must achieve higher levels of reliability and flexibility to meet the demand of operators who are under increasing pressure to improve network efficiency.
In an environment with less engineering resources for product selection, outsourced services, emphasis on repair time and a variety of cable and conductor types in the network, a universal joint in cluding range taking screw connectors ensures reliable application and service.
Mechanical shear bolt connectors
All joint kits incorporate a Raychem designed screw connector with shear head bolts to ensure a reliable pre-engineered electrical connection for the different conductor materials, shapes and types used in today’s network. The pre-set shear torque of the bolts ensures that the correct contact pressure is always achieved. The specially designed contact surface on the inside of the connector breaks up any conductor oxide layer and ensures reliable service over the entire life time of the joint. The connectors have been tested in accordance with IEC 61238-1 class A.
