Cold Shrink Cable Breakout Boots

Product Overview

COMPAQ’s CCSB Series – Cold Shrink Breakout Boots offer an advanced sealing solution for protecting the crutch area of 3-core power cables. Designed for use with both polymeric and PILC-insulated cables, these factory-expanded silicone rubber boots are mounted on removable inner plastic cores that contract upon installation—ensuring an airtight, watertight seal without the need for heat, flame, or tools.

Manufactured from high-grade silicone rubber, the boots provide excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, moisture, and temperature extremes, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications in medium voltage cable systems.

How Are We The Best

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Cold shrink boots require no heat or flame for installation, making them safer and easier to apply, especially in hazardous or enclosed environments.

Yes, the silicone rubber material offers excellent resistance to UV, moisture, and ozone, making them ideal for outdoor use.

No, cold shrink products are designed for one-time application. Once shrunk, they provide a permanent seal.

Yes, CCSB boots are also offered in semi-conductive silicone rubber for screened cable terminations.

No adhesive or tools are required. The product installs using the factory-expanded elastic force by simply removing the inner core.
