The new Elastimold Shrink-Fit Cable Joint from Thomas & Betts combines the convenience of pre-molded splicing with the range-taking versatility of cold-shrink methods into one, easy-to-install solution. The Elastimold Shrink-Fit Cable Joint features a single-piece body that can be quickly installed using a self-ejecting plastic support core, which can be removed by hand. Made of high-quality, molded EPDM elastomer, the Shrink-Fit method uses no ripcords and no heat, making installation fast, simple, and safe. Plus, the cable joint’s four-piece plastic support core reinforces the openings at both sides of the joint. And, after the splice has been completed, cable neutrals can be easily re-connected over the body of the joint without having to use potentially dangerous spring clamps and without having to sacrifice any conductivity in the shield. The Elastimold Shrink-Fit Cable Joint covers a wide range of cable sizes, and can be used with either a standard aluminum or optional copper compression splice.
