What Are Cold Shrink Cable Accessories

Today we are going to introduce the characteristics of Cold Shrink Cable Accessories. Before introducing the characteristics of cable accessories, let's briefly introduce what cable accessories are. Cable accessories refer to the intermediate connections and terminal connectors of various cables in the cable line, which together with the cable constitute the power transmission network.

Cable accessories can be divided into cold-shrink cable accessories and heat-shrink cable accessories. Cold-shrink cable accessories use the excellent elasticity of silicone rubber, EPDM rubber, etc. Specifically, they are injection vulcanized and molded in the factory, and then expanded and lined with plastic spiral supports to form various cable accessories. When installing, the support strips are continuously pulled out one circle at a time, and the accessories will be tightly wrapped around the cable by rubber elasticity. Cold-shrink cable accessories are suitable for construction sites that cannot be heated with open flames, such as mines, petroleum, chemicals, etc.

Heat-shrink cable accessories are made by mixing raw materials such as EVA into different heat-shrinkable component products with "shape memory" effect. When installing, electric hot air guns, ovens and other heating tools are needed to heat them to shrink them. Heat shrinkable cable accessories have the advantages of light weight, small size, safety, reliability, and easy installation. They are widely used in various fields such as electricity, communications, and electronics.
