Cold Shrink Tubes & End Caps

The unique Cold Shrink product range, developed by 3M, is designed to make insulating as simple as possible. The E.P.D.M or silicone rubber is pre-stretched, and loaded onto a removable core. Cold Shrink products require no heat, and no tools to install. Once installed, a constant radial pressure is exerted, ensuring superior electrical and mechanical performance. Cold Shrink tubes are available to accommodate a wide range of cable sizes, and are water resistant to 2 bar. With 20 years of proven field history, 3M Cold Shrink products will retain performance and resiliency for the life of the cable.
