Product Overview
The COMPAQ TriCore Tubing is an advanced heat shrink triple layer tubing developed for medium voltage cable jointing and termination systems up to 42kV. Combining a stress control layer, insulating layer, and conductive outer layer into one integrated solution, TriCore delivers electrical insulation, stress management, and environmental protection in a compact and reliable design.
This triple wall innovation allows installers to use:
By reducing installation steps, TriCore improves efficiency, safety, and consistency, minimizing the risk of errors and joint failures.
Compatible with single- and three-core polymeric cables featuring copper wire screens, copper tape screens, or aluminium tape screens, the COMPAQ TriCore Series is trusted by utilities, EPC contractors, and industrial operators worldwide.
By combining engineering innovation with global field experience, COMPAQ establishes itself as a reliable partner in medium-voltage cable accessories, ensuring safe, durable, and cost-effective performance in power distribution networks.
Triple-layer construction reduces the number of tubes required, cutting down jointing steps and saving valuable time.
Fewer installation operations minimize human error, ensuring greater consistency and long-term joint reliability.
Integrated stress control and insulation deliver stable dielectric strength for MV networks up to 42kV.
Works with single and three core polymeric cables using copper wire, copper tape, or aluminium tape screens.
Meets ASTM and IEC requirements for tensile strength, elongation, and volume resistivity.

COMPAQ TriCore is a triple-layer heat shrink tubing with integrated stress control, insulation, and conductive screening. It is designed for medium-voltage cable jointing applications up to 42kV.
Unlike conventional systems that require three separate tubes, TriCore reduces the process to:
This saves time, reduces complexity, and minimizes the risk of errors.
TriCore is suitable for single and three core polymeric cables with copper wire screens, copper tape screens, or aluminium tape screens.
TriCore is trusted by utilities, EPC contractors, and industrial operators worldwide for medium-voltage networks, substations, renewable energy plants, and critical infrastructure.
COMPAQ offers tubing solutions for low, medium, and high-voltage applications, with this triple layer (TriCore) tubing specifically designed for systems up to 42kV.
The standard shrink ratio is 3:1, ensuring a tight, profile-following fit over a wide range of cable diameters.
