Product Overview
COMPAQ CLB Series Heat Shrink Cable Breakouts are designed to provide long-lasting sealing and mechanical protection for the crutch area of low voltage multicore cables up to 3.3kV. When heated, the breakout shrinks to its original compact form, ensuring a precise and secure fit across a wide range of cable sizes and accessories due to its high shrink ratio. The inner walls and finger areas are coated with hot-melt adhesive, which flows during installation to create a reliable, moisture-tight seal over diverse insulation materials used in energy cables.
Engineered for both indoor and outdoor terminations, COMPAQ breakouts are quick to install and proven to withstand harsh climates, UV exposure, and polluted environments. They are available in a broad selection of sizes for 2 core to 7 core cables, covering multiple cable diameters and applications. Manufactured from halogen-free, UV-stabilized materials, the CLB Series ensures environmental safety, extended shelf life under normal storage, and dependable performance throughout its service life.
Hot-melt adhesive lining ensures a permanent, moisture-tight barrier that protects against water ingress and extends service life.
Halogen-free, silicone-free, non-corrosive, and free from lead and aluminium, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility.
Provides excellent insulation properties and robust strength for reliable protection in low voltage applications.
Designed to maintain material properties under normal storage conditions and deliver durable performance in operation.
High shrink ratio allows a secure fit over different cable diameters and insulation types, including PVC, XLPE, Rubber, and PILC.
