Description


VS-CAP-SILIC silicone rubber cold shrink end cap is made from high-quality silicone rubber and pre-expanded on a removable plastic support tube. It is designed for quick cable end sealing in storage, transportation and on-site installation environments where moisture, water and environmental exposure may affect cable reliability.


Thanks to the elastic memory of silicone rubber, the cap contracts tightly around the cable end after the support strip is removed, forming a stable insulating and sealing cover. The product offers a wide application range with a super 5x shrink ratio and is suitable for low-voltage and high-voltage cable end protection.

Structure



Silicone rubber cold shrink end cap structure with removable plastic support tube for cable end sealing

VS-CAP-SILIC is a closed-end silicone rubber cold shrink cap supplied in a pre-expanded state on a removable plastic support tube. During installation, the cap is placed over the cable end and the support strip is removed. The silicone rubber then shrinks radially onto the cable end, forming an insulating and environmental sealing cover.
