Heatshrink Repair Sleeve - Fibre Reinforced

RFSM

RFSM wraparounds are multi-purpose products designed to provide sealing and environmental protection also for cables in pressurized networks up to nominal pressure of 70 kPa or 10 psi. It is suitable for use on polyethylene, lead, steel and aluminium jacketed cables in underground, direct-buried, and aerial applications. The material used for RFSM wraparounds is a fibre-reinforced composite laminate. Its outer surface is treated with a temperature-indicating system to facilitate uniform heating during installation. In addition, white lines are painted on the flat side of the rails which become visible through the channel openings as installation is completed. The sleeve has a flap which is designed to seal the longitudinal seam during installation. Both the sleeve and flap are pre-coated with hot-melt adhesive which provides a tenacious bond to the cable under repair. Raychem wraparound RFSM is fast and easily installed and has proven its long-term reliability in harsh environmental conditions.

Features

• Wraparound sleeve mainly used for rejacketing of medium and high voltage joints
• Approved for applications also in pressurized cable networks, as used in High voltage or Telecom
• Fibre-reinforced structure and thick wall design enable superior mechanical strength and impact resistance characteristics
• Halogen-free material content, non-corrosive and non-toxic smoke in event of fire
• Compliant to RoHS and REACH regulations
• Stabilised against UV Irradiation

Applications

• Cable repair
• Outer rejacketing of joints, in low up to high voltage applications
• Protection against moisture and pressure
• Mechanical protection

CNSM

CNSM heat-shrinkable heavy-wall wraparound is designed for sealing and outer protection on Low and Medium voltage cables and accessories. The sealant exhibits excellent bonding and sealing characteristics to all materials commonly used in the various cable and sheath constructions. CNSM is made of an abrasion and corrosion resistant semi-rigid material, and is a result of our extensive capability in materials technology. CNSM wraparound sleeves are suitable for repair of all types of unpressurised cable types, aerial, buried or ducted, with polyethylene, rubber or metal jackets. The hotmelt adhesive coated on the sleeve ensures a permanent reliable watertight seal.

Shelf-life restrictions usually associated with tapes or resins or cold-applied products do not apply and the completed installation may be taken into service at once. Raychem wraparound CNSM is fast and easily installed and has proven its long term reliability in harsh environmental conditions.
