Product details
Cast Resin Branch Joint 4x 4-10mm2
Cabac cast resin branch cable joints are ideal for single or multi-core telephone, signal and power cables with up to 1kV rating.
The joints can be used where cables are buried directly in the ground, on cable trays, on rail installations, water submerged (up to 1m depth), or being repaired.
The cast resin is a special unfilled polyurethane that has good adhesive strength to all cable materials. Soft elastic properties ensure equalisation of mechanical stresses caused by different thermal expansion of cable materials. The cast resin has definite advantages over rigid epoxy resin which may be liable to stress cracking.
Features:
• Easy visual check before and during pouring of cast resin
• Pouring spouts to ensure void-free resin fill
• Snap lock and pre-shaped cut-offs to allow quick sealing of mould around the cable
• Complies with VDE standards
• Shelf Life of 3 years at a maximum temperature of 35°C
Technical Notes:
- Cold Temperature: Resins do not cure rapidly in temperatures below 20°C. Either raise the ambient temperature or warm the joint, cable and connectors.
- Curing Time: One hour to cure before energising and 24 hours to fully cure. To be protected from water and elements it needs to be fully cured
