Product Overview

The COMPAQ CHJ-Tx Series is a specialized heat shrinkable jointing system designed for efficient, reliable, and space-saving cable connections between dissimilar cross sections and conductor constructions. Suitable for 1-core XLPE or EPR insulated medium voltage cables up to 42kV, the CHJ-Tx solution simplifies transitions between copper and aluminum conductors with different sizes — without the need for crimping tools.

This dual-range transition joint is ideally suited for complex retrofit scenarios, system upgrades, and space-constrained environments, offering mechanical strength, electrical integrity, and installation convenience.

How Are We The Best

Product Benefits?

Universal Transition Compatibility
