All cable splices must rebuild these critical cable functions: Electrical stress control Insulation and semiconductive layer Shielding and grounding Environmental and mechanical protection The typical Tyco Electronics splicebased on heat-shrink technology, specialized materials, and pre-engineered designsdelivers reliable performance. A close look at one of our polymeric cable splices shows how each component draws on Tyco Electronics technical excellence and field experience to rebuild every function of the cable.

Grounding and Shielding* Ground braid provides continuity across the splice. Ground clamp provides secure grounding without soldering. Shielding mesh surrounds the splice for personnel protection.
*Grounding components not included with URD cable splices.

Electrical Stress Control Stress relief material Minimizes stress around the connector and at the shield cutback. Heat-shrinkable stress control tubing Reduces electrical stress to safe operating levels. Delivers long-term, stable electrical performance.

Insulation and Semiconductive Layer Heat-shrinkable dual-layer insulation/conductive tube Delivers consistent insulation thickness without field measurements, in a factory-engineered system. Outer conductive layer reconstructs the cables insulation shield. Inner insulating wall provides insulation thickness to meet or exceed that of the cable. Both layers are factory-bonded to help ensure a void-free interface between the insulation and shield.

Heat-shrinkable adhesive-lined wraparound jacket Heat-activated adhesive promotes a positive moisture seal between the cable and splice. Tough, crosslinked polyolefin materials provide impact- and abrasion-resistance.

Moisture Sealing and Mechanical Protection Moisture sealant Internal moisture seal inhibits migration of moisture even on cables with jacket damage.
