Product Overview

COMPAQ CHJ-Tx Heat Shrink Transition Cable Joints are designed for connecting three-core Paper Insulated Lead Covered (PILC) cables to three-core polymeric insulated cables such as XLPE or EPR in medium voltage distribution systems up to 36kV.

The joints utilize proven heat shrink technology to restore the electrical insulation, stress control, metallic screening and environmental sealing of the cable system while providing a reliable transition between legacy paper-insulated cable networks and modern polymeric cables.

Suitable for draining and non-draining PILC cables, the joints are fully screened, moisture sealed, directly buried and designed for underground distribution networks. They are compatible with both mechanical shear bolt connectors and compression connectors, making them suitable for utility, industrial and infrastructure applications.
