3M 5553 COLD SHRINK RUBBER SPLICE KIT TAPE/W
Product Overview
3M™ cold shrink shielded splice kit 5550 series are for splicing 5 kV and 8 kV shielded, solid dielectric, power cables. Meets requirements of IEEE 404. Each kit contains all the materials (except connectors and optional ground strap) required to construct three (3) single-conductor splices on tape Shield, wire shield or UniShield® cables. Note: the kit can also be used to splice a shielded to a non-shielded 5/8 kV cable. Note: cable sizes shown below are for standard insulation thickness. Final determining factor is cable insulation O.D.
