3M Cold Shrink Insulator 1 kV EPDM Rubber Cable Splice Protection System

Professional Cold Shrink Technology for Primary Cable Insulation

The 3M Cold Shrink Insulator delivers reliable primary insulation and mechanical protection for solid dielectric insulated wires and cable splicing applications rated to 1000 volts. Constructed from black EPDM rubber with no chlorides or sulfur, this cold shrink system provides professional-grade sealing for terminal lug barrels, conduit couplings, and conduit-to-cable breakouts with simple tool-free installation.

Professional Features & Benefits

  • 1 kV Voltage Rating: Provides reliable primary insulation for low voltage power cable applications up to 1000 volts.
  • EPDM Rubber Construction: Chloride and sulfur-free material ensures long-term durability and chemical resistance in demanding environments.
  • Cold Shrink Technology: Tool-free installation eliminates the need for heat sources, reducing installation time and safety concerns.
  • 500-800 kcmil Conductor Range: Accommodates large conductor sizes for high-capacity power distribution applications.
  • Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -40�F to 194�F (-40�C to 90�C) for diverse environmental conditions.
  • 12-inch Length: Provides comprehensive coverage for splice connections and mechanical protection requirements.
  • UniShield� Compatibility: Works with tape shield, wire shield, and non-shielded cable configurations for versatile applications.
