Die Muffenschale und der dazugehörige Abzweigblock sind aufgrund ihrer Konstruktion für ein durchgehendes Hauptkabel und ein Abzweigkabel geeignet.

Diese Verwendung ist grundsätzlich möglich. Es ist jedoch darauf zu achten, dass ausreichend Gel verdrängt wird. Das bedeutet, dass sich beide Gelflächen um das Kabelende schließen müssen, um eine Abdichtung gegen Feuchtigkeit zu gewährleisten.

Die EASYCELL-Gelenke können in einem Bereich von -10°C bis +60°C montiert werden. Wie bei allen anderen Fugen muss auch hier darauf geachtet werden, dass im gesamten Bereich der Gel-Fuge keine Feuchtigkeit, einschließlich Schnee und Eis, vorhanden ist.

Alle EASYCELL®-Verbindungen sind nach der Prüfnorm DIN EN 50393 geprüft. Diese Norm schreibt vor, dass die Belastung mit 0,1 bar Wasserdruck geändert werden muss. Das bedeutet, dass die Fuge bis zu einer Wassertiefe von 1 m eingesetzt werden kann. Die Montagevorgaben sind dabei unbedingt einzuhalten. Tiefere Anwendungen können mit dem Hersteller vereinbart werden, müssen aber gesondert geprüft werden.

Ja, EASYCELL 3V, 4V und 5V können mit CU-Leitern und AL-Leitern kombiniert werden, da sie einen verzinnten Anschlussblock mit Separator haben.

Die Gel Muffen aus dem EASYCELL®-, EASY-PROTECT- und EASY-PROTECT Inline-Sortiment sind nur zum einmaligen Gebrauch bestimmt.

Diese neue Technologie kombiniert einfache Handhabung, unbeschriftetes Material und unbestimmte Lagerzeit. Die elektrischen Eigenschaften nach dem Aushärten schaffen eine dauerhafte und zuverlässige Kabelverbindung. Wir empfehlen, einen minimalen Verdrahtungsabstand zwischen den Klemmen / Adern und den Wänden der Abzweigkästen einzuhalten.

Die empfohlene Verarbeitungstemperatur von POWER GEL liegt zwischen +15 °C und +30 °C, während die thermische Stabilität zwischen -40 °C und +150 °C liegt.

Geschirmte Kabelsteck- oder Schraubverbindungen mit und ohne Metallgehäuse sind geerdete Materialien, die bei ordnungsgemäßer Erdung und Montage im fehlerfreien Betrieb gefahrlos berührt werden können.

Wir empfehlen generell, keine spannungsführenden trennbaren Kabelsteckverbinder zu berühren, da von außen nicht immer erkennbar ist, ob sie ordnungsgemäß funktionieren.

Bei geschirmten trennbaren Steckverbindern von BBC Cellpack Electrical Products spielt die Umweltverträglichkeit keine Rolle, im Gegensatz zu ungeschirmten trennbaren Steckverbindern oder Schrumpfschläuchen. Folgende trennbare Steckverbinder: CTS, CWS, CTKS, CGS, CTS-S können in Umgebungen mit unterschiedlichen Verschmutzungsklassen eingesetzt werden.

Bei wärmeschrumpfenden Bauteilen handelt es sich um Komponenten, die bei Wärmeeinwirkung in ihren ursprünglichen Produktionszustand zurückschrumpfen, wie z. B. Spreizkappen, Endkappen, Schläuche oder Muffen. Zum Schrumpfen kann ein Heißluftgebläse verwendet werden. Die Wärmezufuhr ist jedoch im Vergleich zu einem Gasbrenner geringer. Dadurch verlängert sich die Dauer des Schrumpfvorgangs. Je nach verwendetem Heißluftgebläse müssen die Einstellungen und die Düse individuell gewählt werden. Es ist darauf zu achten, dass die Oberfläche des Schrumpfschlauches nicht verbrannt wird.

Handelt es sich um einen Schlauch mit Schmelzkleber (SRH...), fließt der Kleber an beiden Enden langsam aus. Gleichmäßige Wandstärken und eine gerade Beschriftung sind wichtige Indikatoren für eine korrekte Schrumpfung.

Die Nennspannung eines Kabels ist die Spannung, für die das Kabel ausgelegt ist, und umfasst die Betriebseigenschaften und Prüfanforderungen. In Anlehnung an DIN VDE 0298-3 wird die Nennspannung in Volt durch das Verhältnis zweier Werte Uo/U ausgedrückt.

Es gilt folgendes:

Uo - der Effektivwert der Spannung zwischen einem Außenleiter und Erde (metallischer Mantel / Abschirmung des Kabels), Leiter-Erde-Spannung.

U - der Effektivwert der Spannung zwischen zwei Außenleitern eines mehradrigen Kabels oder eines Systems aus einadrigen Kabeln, Leiter-Leiter-Spannung.

In einem Wechselstromsystem muss die Nennspannung eines Kabels mindestens gleich dem Wert für Uo und U des Systems sein. Darüber hinaus geben die IEC-Vorschriften auch die höchstzulässige Spannung Um (maximale Spannung) in Klammern Uo/U (Um) an. BBC Cellpack-Produkte sind mit der maximal zulässigen Spannung Um gekennzeichnet.

Die leitfähige äußere Schicht des EPDM-Körpers absorbiert UV-Strahlung. Aufgrund dieser Eigenschaft des Materials ist eine Beschädigung der tieferen Schichten durch UV-Bestrahlung nicht zu erwarten. Kabeladapter aus EPDM sind für den Außeneinsatz zugelassen.

Ja, CHE/CAE-Endverschlüsse können mit den Leiterklassen 5 und 6 gemäß den Querschnittsbereichen im Datenblatt verwendet werden. Es müssen entsprechende, für diese Leiterklasse geeignete Kabelschuhe verwendet werden. CHESK/CAESK Endverschlüsse unterscheiden sich von CHE/CAE dadurch, dass sie einen Schraubkabelschuh im Bausatz enthalten. Sie können nicht für die Leiterklassen 5 und 6 verwendet werden.

Ja, die Muffen können mit Leitern der Klassen 5 und 6 entsprechend den im Datenblatt angegebenen Querschnittsbereichen verwendet werden. Verwenden Sie Klemmverbinder, die für diese Leiterklasse geeignet sind. CHM-Muffen unterscheiden sich von CHMSV durch den Schraubverbinder im Bausatz. Sie können nicht für die Leiterklasse 5 und 6 verwendet werden.

Ja, BCC Cellpack Kabelzubehör kann mit dem Kabel mit (H)EPR-Isolierung verwendet werden, aber die höchstzulässige Temperatur auf dem Leiter im Dauerbetrieb darf 90°C nicht überschreiten (gemäß HD 620, IEC 60502-2).

Es ist darauf zu achten, dass der Kabelquerschnitt und der Mindestdurchmesser über der Isolierung innerhalb des für das Set angegebenen Bereichs liegt. Der umgekehrte Fall ist ausgeschlossen. In den meisten Fällen sind die anwendbaren Netzspannungen in den verfügbaren und mitgelieferten Unterlagen angegeben.

End- und Abzweigmuffen für Mittelspannung sind nicht im BBC Cellpack-Produktprogramm enthalten.

Die Entscheidung darüber, ob ein Kabelmantel repariert werden kann, obliegt der zuständigen Person im Netz. Dies hängt von der Beschädigung und den Eigenschaften des Kabelmantels ab. Im Allgemeinen darf ein Kabel nur dann mit einer Muffe repariert werden, wenn der Schaden nur den äußeren Kabelmantel betrifft. Wird eine zusätzliche Beschädigung der Aderisolierung festgestellt, ist eine Reparatur mit einer Hülse nicht zulässig. Das Kabel muss dann als Gesamtsystem repariert werden, entweder mit zusätzlichen Isolier- und Dichtungselementen über der/den beschädigten Ader(n) oder, falls erforderlich, durch Anbringen einer durchgehenden Muffe über dem beschädigten Kabelabschnitt.

Wenn man sich für die Verwendung von Schrumpfmuffen entscheidet, sollte die Muffe entsprechend den im Katalog angegebenen Werten ausgewählt werden. Die Betriebsspannung des Kabels ist für die Auswahl der richtigen Muffe nicht ausschlaggebend. Die Funktion von Muffen wird wie folgt beschrieben - Wiederherstellung des äußeren Kabelmantels in seinen drei Funktionen Isolierung, Schutz vor Feuchtigkeit und mechanischer Schutz.

Der SRAT-Schrumpfschlauch kann als Kernisolierschlauch für Endverschlüsse und als Korrosionsschutz verwendet werden. Er darf nicht zum Schutz von Stromschienen oder zur Verkürzung der Abstände zwischen diesen Stromschienen verwendet werden. Diese Funktion ist nicht geprüft worden. Sie kann nicht garantiert werden. Der SRBB-Schlauch ist die richtige Lösung für diese Anwendung.

Die Schraubkabelschuhe aus dem Sortiment der Steckverbinder sind für diese Anwendung nicht geeignet. Diese Art von Kabel ist sehr speziell und erfordert eine genauere Prüfung der Eignung.

Es kann gemäß der Kompatibilitätstabelle verwendet werden. Die Querschnittsfläche weicht von den gängigen Standardprodukten ab.

Der Kontaktstift kann mit einer langen Stecknuss herausgezogen werden, was eine Wiederverwendung ermöglicht. Es empfiehlt sich, ein zusätzliches Set zu verwenden, da sowohl die Oberflächen gereinigt werden als auch das Schmiermittel GM1 wiederverwendet werden muss. Wichtig ist auch, dass bei der Montage auf der Durchführung und dem Abschlusseinsatz auf eine ausreichende Entlüftung geachtet wird. Das erforderliche Drehmoment ist auf Anfrage erhältlich.

End- und Abzweigmuffen für Mittelspannung sind nicht im BBC Cellpack-Produktprogramm enthalten.

Cellpack SR(H), SRAT, SRBB Schläuche enthalten kein Chlor (oder andere halogenhaltige Stoffe), Schwefel, Schwermetalle oder gesundheitsgefährdende Stoffe. Eine entsprechende RohS- und Reach-Konformitätsbestätigung liegt für das jeweilige Bauteil vor.

Die leitfähige Außenschicht des EPDM-Körpers absorbiert UV-Strahlung, und in den meisten Fällen kommt es zu einer UV-Bestrahlung, die zu einer teilweisen Oberflächenalterung an der Grenze des Materials zur Außenatmosphäre führt. Aufgrund dieser Materialeigenschaft ist eine Schädigung der tieferen Schichten durch UV-Bestrahlung nicht zu erwarten. Die Verwendung von UV-stabilisiertem PVC-Band (z.B. Nr. 328) an der Kabeleinführung wird empfohlen.

Um die Handhabung der beiden Werkzeuge zu erleichtern, kann an der gewünschten Stelle bzw. Leitschicht ein Schmiermittel aufgetragen werden. Wir empfehlen hierfür unser Silikonfett (Art.-Nr.: 124055). Schmiermittelrückstände sollten mit einem Reinigungstuch oder einem anderen geeigneten Reinigungsmittel entfernt werden, z.B: Universalreiniger 121.

Die Verwendung von produktspezifischen Schmiermitteln wie GM1, GM2 oder GM3 wird nicht empfohlen, da die beigefügten Mengen auf die Montage des jeweiligen Produktes abgestimmt sind.

Ethylen-Propylen-Dien-Kautschuk (EPDM) und Silikongummi (SIR) sind beides gute Isoliermaterialien. Und trennbare Steckverbinder mit beiden Isolierungen bestehen erfolgreich die Prüfungen nach HD 629.1.

Bei geschirmten trennbaren Steckverbindern von BBC Cellpack Electrical Products spielt die Umweltverträglichkeit keine Rolle, im Gegensatz zu ungeschirmten trennbaren Steckverbindern oder Schrumpfschläuchen. Folgende trennbare Steckverbinder: CTS, CWS, CTKS, CGS, CTS-S können in Umgebungen mit unterschiedlichen Verschmutzungsklassen eingesetzt werden.

Das Anzugsdrehmoment beträgt 30Nm.

Die berechnete mögliche Spannung am kapazitiven Messpunkt liegt zwischen 0,08 ... 0,5 Uo, je nach Kapazitätsverhältnis (Leiter zu Messpunkt und Messpunkt zu Erde). In jedem Fall können selbst bei minimal 6/10(12)kV Spannungen bis zu 500V erreicht werden.

Eine offene Messstelle ist also immer lebensgefährlich! Da die Messung Sache des Anlagenbetreibers ist, gibt es bei BBC Cellpack neben den normalen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen für den Umgang mit elektrotechnischen Geräten keine Sicherheitsmaßnahmen.

Es muss klar sein, dass die Spannung am Messpunkt gefährlich ist.

BBC Cellpack Electrical Products has been selling cable accessories for low and medium voltage applications for more than 40 years. Based on feedback from our customers and their records, as well as the very low number of complaints, it can be stated that safe operation of our cable accessories for low voltage and medium voltage applications is achievable for a period of more than thirty years.

Important note on warranty:

BBC Cellpack Electrical Products is only supplying components (kit) with installation instructions describing their assembly steps. The assembly of the cable accessories itself is not carried out by BBC Cellpack, but by the customer or an assembly company appointed by the customer. In general, in accordance with legal requirements, BBC Cellpack Electrical Products can only provide warranty for the components (kit) supplied, but not for the assembled cable accessories, as BBC Cellpack Electrical Products has no necessary influence on the quality of cable preparation and assembly of the cable accessory or their operation in the network. The cable accessories are free from material defects if they are suitable for the use stipulated in the contract at the time of handover to the customer. The specification of the expected lifetime does not represent a guarantee, assurance, quality agreement or other commitment binding on the seller and also does not represent an extension of the warranty period beyond the warranty within the framework of the statutory periods.

Description of various factors influencing the service life of cable accessories:

There are several factors that can negatively affect the service life of a cable accessory. In our experience, these include normally and not exclusively cable preparation and assembly, network operation or the network conditions themselves, as well as the storage of the kit or the temperature at which the installation is carried out. Due to the many possible influencing factors, this list does not claim to be complete. A legally binding general statement on the service life by BBC Cellpack Electrical Products is therefore not possible and will not be given by us. Influence of cable preparation and assembly on the service life of cable accessories: Basic requirement to achieve the lifetime are careful and clean cable preparation in accordance with the state of technology, but also careful and conscientious compliance with the work steps specified in BBC Cellpack installation instructions. In addition to this requirement, only components supplied from the manufacturer as part of the kit or recommended or approved by the manufacturer, for example connectors qualified according to IEC61238, may be used for proper installation and function of the product. For proper installation as a prerequisite for a long service life, user training is recommended for new products or technically complex solutions.

Influence of network operation or network conditions on the service life of cable accessories:

The service life of a product always depends on the conditions of the power supply network acting on the product. BBC Cellpack Electrical Products cable accessories are type-tested in the low-voltage range in accordance with or based on the EN50393 standard, and in the medium-voltage range in accordance with or based on the HD629 standard. Electrical, mechanical or thermal stresses exceeding the requirements of these standards may have significant effects, i. e. lead to a reduction in the service life of the cable accessories. Thus, no estimate of the possible or remaining service life can be made if, for example, effects of short circuits or transient voltage increases due to switching operations or lightning surge voltages have occurred. The application of the aforementioned standards is not legally binding. However, even if all standards are applied, not all of the influencing factors that may affect the service life of cable accessories are conclusively.

Influence of the storage conditions of the delivered product as well as the temperature during installation on the service life of cable accessories:

In the question of proper storage conditions, a distinction must be made according to the technology used: Components and products using cast resin, gel or cold shrink technology or other cold-applied products may be subject to restrictions on storage time, restrictions on storage conditions or recommendations on installation conditions. Corresponding information on the maximum permitted storage time, the recommended storage conditions and the recommended temperature range for assembly can be found in the product documentation and is also listed in brief form on the product label/label.

Deposits in the form of uniform crystallisation on the inner surface of EPDM insulating bodies are process-related degradation products of the peroxide used in the manufacturing process.

There are no negative findings on effects of such crystallisation that would impair the function of the device. Depending on storage temperatures and duration, these crystal formations can occur on all surfaces. In case of very strong crystallisation, we recommend wiping the inner surfaces as part of the inspection and cleaning process prior to assembly in order to avoid influences when screwing in the insulating terminations or placing the insulating body on the entry point.

The following was determined when preparing mass-impregnated cables:

• Flaming the bitumen layer produces gases and vapours with harmful adhesions of categories 2 and 3 (according to 67/548/EEC). Categories 1B and 2 (according to the CLP regulation) contain carcinogenic, mutagenic and reprotoxic substances – in short, CMR substances.
• Lead abrasion (dust) is produced when the oxide layer of the lead sheath is broken open. Lead also belongs to the CMR substances of category 1 (according to 67/548/EEC) and category 1A (according to the CLP regulation) and is highly toxic to reproduction.
• A knife with a fixed blade must be used when cutting the jute and the lead sheath due to the risk of cutting injuries.

Based on an internal risk assessment conducted in a workshop, the above critical assembly steps were defined and assessed using the following measures. Wearing PPE (personal protective equipment) is mandatory when preparing the mass-impregnated cable side. When using PPE, a risk assessment previously carried out in a specific local situation should provide the basis for further consideration.

There is currently no approval for use in areas subject to explosion hazard.

Whether a shrinkable sleeve can be used for repairing the cable sheath is based on the damage assessment of the cable manufacturer. The shrinkable sleeve is only used for mechanical protection and prevents the moisture ingress. The shrinkable sleeve does not fulfil any beneficial properties for operating E90 cables.

To create a safe electrical connection, a minimum distance of 5 mm is compulsory for low voltage (up to 1 kV) between the terminals / cores and plastic shell and/or housing of the branch box. This 5 mm distance also applies to gaps between individual non-insulated connectors. Individual measurement sin the BBC Cellpack assembly instructions may vary according to product.

The self-sealing tapes with UV stabilisation offered by BBC Cellpack are specified in the overview table in the catalogue.

UV-resistant is generally used as a colloquial term to indicate that the properties of a material do not change at all or not significantly due to UV irradiation. UV-stabilised specifies relevant ambient conditions (e.g. (e.g. irradiance and irradiation duration). UV irradiation can alter the properties of the tapes within acceptable limits.

The BBC Cellpack gel products are made from cross-linked silicone. As soon as the silicone has cross-linked, the tolerance is not limited.

The EASYCELL joints can be installed in a range from -10°C to +60°C.

After installation, the joints can be operated in a temperature range from -20°C to +90°C.

Test standard DIN EN 50393 does not contain any test of the entire system for the impact of gases.

Changes in the properties depending on the substance and concentration are also not tested.

If assembled correctly in accordance with the specifications in the assembly instructions, the cast resin systems are protected against water penetration up to 1m depth.

Test standard DIN EN 50393 contains corresponding tests at a water depth of 1m.

The heat shrinkable kits offered by BBC Cellpack are suitable for concealed installation. We do not recommend using individual tubes without hot-melt adhesive, since in this case, there is no protection against the penetration of moisture and the insulating function of the hose over the offset cable cannot be fulfilled.

The joint shell and the associated branch block are designed to accommodate a continuous main cable and a branch cable.

This generally does not prove a problem as long as the housing has been sealed when casting and/or the cat resin cannot escape after the casting until it has hardened.

The suitability of WAGO's spring clamp technology has been tested and approved for applications using PUR gel as well as for Cellpack's EG and CG cast resin types. There is no experience or test results beyond these approvals as to how the various other sealing materials available from Cellpack affect the plastic material of the clamps and whether the cast resins or gels have any effect on the long-term quality of the contact behaviour of the clamps. The application confirmation for further cast resin types is therefore not currently possible and can only be made after additional tests.

Heat shrinkable components are components that shrink back to their original production state when heat is applied, such as spreader caps, end caps, hoses, or sleeves. A hot-air blower can be used for shrinking. The heat input, however, is lower compared to a gas burner. This prolongs the duration of the shrinking process. The settings and nozzle must be individually selected depending on the hot-air blower used. It is important to make sure that the surface of the shrinkable tube is not burned.

If it is a hose with hot melt adhesive (SRH...), the adhesive will slowly flow out at both ends. Uniform wall thicknesses and straight labelling are important indicators for correct shrinkage.

This use is generally possible. However, it has to be ensured that sufficient gel is displaced. This means that both gel surfaces must close around the cable end to ensure a seal against moisture.

The formulas of most 2-component cast resins have components with different properties. Using the cast resin within the best-before date guarantees safe handling and ensures that the functions work properly when used properly. The mixture may still work once the best-before date has been exceeded. However, the properties may deviate.

The EASYCELL joints can be mounted in a range from -10°C to +60°C. As with all other joints, care must also be taken that there is no moisture in the entire gel joint area, snow and ice included.

The joint can be used straight after casting and/or when live. The relevant provisions “Working with live parts” must be complied with.

Our joints go through extensive tests, such as test standard DIN EN 50393. We thus guarantee that our joints function permanently and are safe. We seriously discourage you from making your own joint so that you do not have to assume responsibility.

If the DR-L connectors have a second crimping point in the component application, they can be used on solid conductors. Since the DR connectors are designed shorter and only allow one crimping point, the component application cannot be used for solid conductors. The common crimping pliers have 2 crimping points in the jaws, i.e. on the DR-L, the pliers are applied 2x for left and right. On the DR, the pliers are pressed on both sides with 1x pressing operation. The EASY-FIX system application is in turn available on solid conductors.

(Component application = direct reference to the crimp connector)

As there are a multitude of crimping pliers, this application primarily depends on the tool used. 
We therefore recommend to check and approve this application yourself.

All EASYCELL® joints are tested in accordance with test standard DIN EN 50393. This standard requires for the load to be changed with 0.1 bar water pressure. This means that the joint can be used in water depths of up to 1m. The assembly specifications must be complied with at all times. Deeper applications can be agreed with the manufacturer, but have to be tested separately

The res ponsible person in the network is responsible for deciding whether a cable sheath can be repaired. This depends on the damage and the properties the cable sheath satisfies. In general, a cable may only be repaired with a sleeve if the damage affects only the outer cable sheath. If additional damage to the core insulation is detected, repairs by means of a sleeve are not permitted. The cable must then be repaired as a complete system, either with additional insulating and sealing components over the damaged core(s) or, if necessary, by installing a straight-through joint over the damaged cable section.

If it decided to use shrinkable sleeves, the sleeve should be selected according to the values mentioned in the catalogue. The operating voltage of the cable is not the deciding factor when selecting the right sleeve. The function of sleeves is described as follows - restoration of the outer cable sheath in its three functions insulation, protection against moisture and mechanical protection.

Straight-through joints are designed for butt jointing two cables. Branch joints, on the other hand, are intended for a main conductor (which is not cut) and an outgoing cable. It is very difficult to join all three cable ends in one joint due to the lack of volume inside the shell and the need for special connectors. In addition, BBC Cellpack's standard joints were not designed for this application. We recommend using the following constellation to ensure a reliable and secure connection:

One exception to this rule are the two cast resin branch joints T1/EG/V/WAGO and Y1/EG/V/WAGO. They can be used to connect or branch three cable ends with up to 5x 0.5mm² - 5x 4mm² in one joint. The set contains 5 pieces of each WAGO COMPACT 221-413 series splicing connector.

Public swimming pool water contains a certain concentration of chlorine. This point falls under the term “resistant to chemical effects”. This means that tests with the actual chlorine content and/or composition of the water (e.g. thermal water) are necessary. Of course it has to be assumed that the components have been properly assembled and used as specified.

Such joints cannot be subsequently filled with cast resin, since proper casting cannot be guaranteed. (Various environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity or dirt affect the result. These conditions have not been checked.)

Organic fertilisers are composed of different chemical substances, such as ammonia or nitrate in varying concentrations. As a result, it is not possible to carry out a meaningful test of the sets with regard to organic fertilisers.

BBC Cellpack's polyurethane-based sealing compounds are susceptible to petrol, which can affect their properties.

Yes, EASYCELL 3V, 4V and 5V can be combined with CU conductors and AL conductors, since they have a tin-plated connection block with separator.

The gel joints from the EASYCELL® , EASY-PROTECT and EASY-PROTECT Inline product range are designed for single use only.

Cellpack SR(H), SRAT, SRBB hoses do not contain chlorine (or any other halogen-containing materials), sulphur, heavy metals or substances that are hazardous to health. A corresponding RohS and Reach conformity confirmation is available for the respective component.

The requirements placed by the customer/user on the end product and the requirement for its proper function in its operating environment are important.

In general, halogen-free heat shrinkable components can also be used on cables that contain halogen (PVC) and heat shrinkable components that contain halogen (e.g. flame-retardant hoses) can generally also be used on halogen-free cables (PE, XLPE).

The hardening time describes the time required for hardening 100% with the mechanical properties of components A and B. The pot life is a standardised term which colloquially is defined as processing period. Reactions may be quick or slow, depending on different temperatures.

This new technology combines easy handling, unlabelled material and indefinite storage periods. The electrical properties after hardening create a permanent and reliable cable connection. We recommend to keep a minimum wiring distance between the terminals / cores and walls of the branch boxes.

Our cast resin systems have been tried and tested over decades. The electrical and mechanical properties after hardening create a permanent and reliable cable connection. We provide a wide range of cast resins for multiple application areas.

Our heat shrinkable products have been tried and tested over decades. The electrical and mechanical properties after cooling down create a permanent and reliable cable connection. Heat shrinkable products can be ordered for stockpiling as they can be stored for indefinite periods.

Influence of the storage conditions of the delivered product as well as the temperature during installation on the service life of cable accessories:

In the question of proper storage conditions, a distinction must be made according to the technology used: Components and products using cast resin, gel or cold shrink technology or other cold-applied products may be subject to restrictions on storage time, restrictions on storage conditions or recommendations on installation conditions. Corresponding information on the maximum permitted storage time, the recommended storage conditions and the recommended temperature range for assembly can be found in the product documentation and is also listed in brief form on the product label/label.

Polyurethane (PUR) cast resins consist of two components, one resin and one hardening component. Elements of the hardening component react more easily with water than with the PUR resin component. The mixture foams on contact with moisture. The electrically and mechanically required properties are not met in this case. Special cast resin systems, such as the UWR cast resin, are available when working in humid conditions.

The more information on individual product characteristics can be found in the product data sheet.

The hardening time of the liquid EG cast resin depends on the ambient temperature, component temperature and cast resin volume. The following diagramme contains more information on this topic: 

There are currently no sets available for EX areas due to normative changes.

Cast resin have excellent electrical insulating properties. Different cast resins can be selected for different application areas:

EG: Universal cast resin for plastic, paper-insulated low voltage cables, telecommunication cables and messaging cables. EG is protects medium voltage cables from mechanical impacts and moisture.

GG: Special cast resin for health and safety at work due to reduced hazardous substance labelling. GG is suitable for plastic aand paper-insulated low voltage cables.

FG: Flexible cast resin is suitable for repairing damaged cable sheaths and connecting flexible cables.

UG: Meets tougher fire protection requirements and is used in the mining industry.

UWR: Is water-resistant and makes it possible to cast whilst exposed to moisture.

WG: The hardened moulding material can be easily removed again using small tools.

CG:  Environmentally friendly removable cold casting mass made on a hydrocarbon basis. CG is free from silicones and isocyanates and has no hazardous substances label.

Use standard over-the-counter crimping pliers. Please enquire with the manufacturer of your choice.

• The tools in the table have been tried and tested as assembly tools. A manufacturer-independent release of impact wrenches is not possible according to the current status, since only tested devices can be released (product liability).
• Notes on assembly: The tools must not have any defects and must be used properly and according to the enclosed instructions. They must also be positioned correctly and perpendicular to the shear bolt.
• There must be no leverage effect on the shear bolt. Suitable tool inserts (one-piece) must be used. The battery must be sufficiently charged. The assembly must be carried out according to the assembly instructions. The connectors or cable lugs must be approved for the respective application.

The recommended storage temperature for PUR cast resin products offered by BBC Cellpack is between 15°C and 35°C.

The SR1F and SR1F3 tubes are permitted in accordance with UL. Both tube types are listed in the UL list under document number E172094.

Unused cast resin hardens in the bag. Once fully hardened and as long as components A and B have been fully mixed, it can be simply discarded with the residual waste.

A tube is initially extruded from polyolefin pellets. Depending on the type of tube, the hot melt adhesive is introduced in this step (co-extruded). The tubes are then electron beam cross linked. This changes the molecular structure and the tubes receive a “memory”. In another work step with heat supply, the tube is expanded to the required diameter, then cooled down and cut. When heating up, the tube “remembers” its original state and shrinks back.

The low voltage heat shrinkable tubes must meet the requirements of the DIN EN 50393 standard. This standard gives a detailed description of test methods and requirements for sets with a nominal voltage of 0.6 / 1.0 (1.2) kV. The standard properties and requirements for heat shrinkable tubes are contained in the DIN IEC 60684 standard (Part 1: Terminology and general requirements; Part 2: Test methods; Part 3: Requirements for individual tube types).
The allocation of protection classes (protection types) is part of DIN EN 60529 (VDE 0470). According to this standard, the scope of the protection provided by a housing against access to hazardous components, penetration of solid contaminants and/or water penetration has been proven with standardised test methods. In both cases (low voltage heat shrinkable cable joints / tubes), there is no additional housing, which makes it impossible to test the protection class.

In the installation instructions for the VASMI and SMHF telecommunications joints, this step is described as follows:

A) Preparation of the cables Allow the cables to overlap as shown in the drawing:

The cables are prepared in the same way as for connecting sleeves, depending on the cable type.

B) Shield connection

Establish the shield connection as for the connecting sleeve.

Install the shield connection branch terminal and cable (take it from the MSFA and install it according to the enclosed installation instructions).

The MSFA accessory set is only required for branch sleeves.

The recommended processing temperature of POWER GEL is between +15 °C and +30 °C, whereas the thermal stability is between -40 °C and +150 °C.

A cast resin joint can generally be used for this if the minimum distances are complied with. It is a little more difficult, but generally possible, to seal the flat cable into the round infeed of the shell. Heat shrinkable and gel cable joints are less suitable for this job due to the flat cable.

During the kneading process, the resin and hardener are mixed and start an exothermic chemical reaction. The assembly instructions provided show a bag mixing time of 3 minutes. If the mixing time is shorter, the components are not sufficiently mixed. Contrary to popular opinion, the cast resin does not “dry”; if the reaction cannot occur, the mix will not harden. The electrically and mechanically required properties are not met in this case.

Pump lines are different from radial cables or lines due to their flat design and fine-stranded conductors (class 5) are also common. This is why the following must be observed when selecting and assembling the joint:
• Maximum number of cores 4 conductors per cable end.
• Spacer plates must be used to arrange the connectors. They are included with our M11, M12, M13S and M13 cast resin joints.
• The joint must provide sufficient space for the flat cable to be inserted (max. cable Ø mm).
• Suitable compression connectors and compression tools must be used.
• To make it easier to seal the flat cable to the plastic shell of the joint, we recommend using a sealing compound, such as our HKB mastic tape (item no.: 127651).
• For standardisation reasons, the water depth should not exceed 1m.
The assembly can be carried out as shown in the drawings:

There are different options:

1) Copper press cable lugs in accordance with DIN 46235 and aluminium press cable lugs in accordance with DIN 46239 are pressed using the hex method in accordance with DIN 48083. The press insert to be used depends on the external diameter, which is always stated on the component. The pressing process evenly deforms the individual cores, thus creating a stable electrical and mechanical connection.

2) If the cable lug is specific to a manufacturer (so-called tube cable lug), it is only permissible for the copper area and cable class 2 in accordance with DIN 60228 in most cases. In such case, the system specific to the manufacturer must always be used.

In both cases, the pressing process starts from the centre of the bore hole (as marked) and continues toward the cable. The pressing makes the connector a little longer. A pressing excess of 5 mm (Cu) and 10 mm (Al) is therefore accounted for when preparing the cable.

There are different options: 

1) Copper press connectors in accordance with DIN 46267-1 and aluminium press connectors in accordance with DIN 46267-2 are pressed using the hex method in accordance with DIN 48083. The press insert to be used depends on the external diameter, which is always stated on the component. The pressing process evenly deforms the individual cores, thus creating a stable electrical and mechanical connection.

2) If the press connector is specific to a manufacturer (so-called butt splice-connector), the manufacturer’s instructions must always be complied with.

In both cases, the pressing process starts from the centre of the connector (as marked) and continues toward the cable. The pressing makes the press connector a little longer. A pressing excess of 5 mm (Cu) and 10 mm (Al) is therefore accounted for when preparing the cable.

For screw connectors with shear bolts, all bolts must be tightened in sequence during assembly.

If there are two bolts per cable side, the bolt toward the cable is then sheared off first followed by the bolt to the centre of the connector. For screw connectors with just one bolt each, these must be tightened evenly until shearing off.

Firstly, position the spreader cap on the cable joint. Initially set the blow torch to a soft yellow flame. Now start heating up the interstice (1) radially. Continue this movement whilst shrinking the shaft (2+3) toward the cable sheath. Now change back to the shaft and evenly shrink the fingers (4) toward the core; also heat up the inside of the splice. The adhesive slowly escapes at the end of the shaft and the spreader fingers after a short period. Important indicators that the shrinking process has been completed correctly are even wall strengths and straight labelling.

Firstly, position the shrinkable tube. Initially set the blow torch to a soft yellow flame. Now start the heating process from the centre and radiating outward. Continue this movement whilst initially shrinking one full side. Now change back to the centre and repeat the process on the other side.
If the tube contains hot melt adhesive (SRH...), the adhesive slowly escapes at both ends. Important indicators that the shrinking process has been completed correctly are even wall strengths and straight labelling. Below is an image from straight-through joint assembly instructions:

STEP 1: Ideally, the bag has a temperature of around 20 °C.
STEP 2: Before starting the mixing process, the separator between resin and hardener has to be removed. The sealed mixing bag makes contact with the two components impossible.
STEP 3: During the mixing process, both components must be mixed until one homogenous mass as best as possible. The times specified in the processing instructions, 3 minutes, must be complied with.
STEPS 4+5: It is not enough to simply sway or shake the bag. To prevent cast resin losses as much as possible, it is recommended to spread the cast resin from the corners and roll up the empty end.
STEPS 6+7: Afterwards, one corner of the bag can be cut open to pour the cast resin into the joint. Below is an image of the assembly instructions with the separate steps:

This is used for easily feeding cables and cores through walls in buildings.

Simply put, it is a shrinkable tube that is positioned on a formative metal spiral. Once installed, the cable is pushed through the duct in the house and sealed by simply heating up the ends of the house duct. This is the assembly process:

First drill a hole through the brickwork. It is recommended to refer to the BBC Cellpack data sheet to ensure that the right drill bit with the right diameter is being used. The cable centering aid can be used for aligning the house connection point. When the distances are correct, the sealing compound can be prepared. Like the cast resin, it is mixed in a two-chamber bag but has a much quicker reaction time. A homogenous sealing is now created with a spatula. Due to the shorter processing time, a separate bag can be used for the inside and outside.

No, this is not recommended. The lubricants are assigned to specific cable accessories. Most of them have electrical properties in specific areas (e.g. dissipation factor or dielectric constant). Standardisation is not possible.

The test adapters are intended exclusively for use in screwable shielded T-shaped EPDM cable connectors of types CTS and CTKS. Use of the screw inserts in cable connectors from other manufacturers is not permitted.

Deposits in the form of uniform crystal formation on the inner surface of EPDM insulating bodies are process-related degradation products of the peroxide used in the manufacturing process. There are no negative findings on the function-impairing effects of such crystal formation.

Depending on the storage temperature and duration, these crystals can form on all surfaces. In the event of very heavy crystal formation, it is recommended that the inner surfaces are wiped out as part of the inspection and cleaning prior to installation in order to avoid influences when screwing in the insulating terminations or placing the insulating body on the bushing.

In contrast to unshielded connectors or heat-shrinkable connectors, shielded connectors from BBC Cellpack Electrical Products pose no problem for the environment. The following connectors: CTS, CWS, CTKS, CGS, CTS-S can be used in environments with different pollution classes.

The conductive black outer coating of the EPDM base body absorbs UV radiation. Due to this UV absorption behavior of the material, damage to deeper layers is not to be expected when exposed to UV. The cable adapter is also made of EPDM and can be used outdoors.

The conductive black outer EPDM coating absorbs UV radiation; UV exposure may at most lead to surface ageing at the material's boundary with the outside atmosphere. Due to the material's UV absorption behavior, damage to deeper layers is not to be expected from UV exposure. However, the EPDM sealing wrap must also be wrapped with UV-stabilized PVC insulation tape (e.g. No. 328).

The application is possible according to the compatibility table. The cross-sectional area differs from the current standard products.

Download overview

The degree of pollution is not important for the shielded plug connections from BBC Cellpack Electrical Products, in contrast to unshielded plug connections. The following plugs CTS, CWS, CTKS, CGS, CTS-S may be used in environments with different degrees of pollution.

The tightening torque is 30Nm.

Both ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) and silicone rubber (SIR) are good insulating materials. And plug connectors with both insulations successfully pass the tests according to HD 629.1.

Thanks to their design, the joint shell and the associated branch-off block are suitable for one continuous main cable and one branch cable.

The following conductor types are tested at the factory: RE (round, solid), RM (round, stranded), SE (sector, solid) and SM (sector, stranded).

Connectors and cable lugs are approved for conductor class 1 (solid conductor construction) and 2 (stranded conductor construction). Compacted conductors (RMv and SMv) are also supported. No approval is available for conductor class 5 (fine stranded conductors) and conductor class 6 (superfine stranded conductors).

The contact bolt can be removed with a long socket, which makes reuse possible. The use of an additional set is recommended, as the surfaces must be cleaned and the GM1 lubricant must be reused. Care must also be taken to ensure appropriate ventilation during installation on the bushing and the end insert. The required torque is available on request.

Yes, CHE/CAE terminations can be used with conductor classes 5 & 6 in accordance with the cross-sectional areas in the data sheet. Appropriate cable lugs suitable for this conductor class must be used. CHESK/CAESK terminations differ from CHE/CAE by the screw cable lug in the kit. Use on conductor classes 5 & 6 is not possible.

If the DR-L connectors have a second crimping point in the component application, they can be used on solid conductors. As the DR connectors are shorter and only one crimping point is possible, the component application for solid conductors is not possible. The standard crimping pliers can have 2 crimping points in the jaws, which means that with the DR-L the pliers are used twice for left and right, whereas with the DR the pliers crimp both sides with one crimping operation. Again, the EASY-FIX system application on solid conductors is given.

(Component application = direct connection of the crimp connector)

The screw cable lugs of the connector family are not suitable for this application. This type of cable is very specialised and requires more in-depth testing for suitability.

The CSV-LHS & CSV-T screw connectors and CSK screw cable lugs from BBC Cellpack are made from an aluminium alloy. As part of the galvanisation process, the entire surface (inside and outside) is tin-plated. Tin is a typical coating material that can be used for both aluminium and copper parts and allows direct contact between aluminium and copper parts without additional handling. Please note that the tin layer must not be damaged. This is the most modern technology used by all major manufacturers of screw connectors and cable lugs in Europe.

We hereby inform you that our products (articles) with the SVHC substance lead (CAS 7439-92-1) in a concentration higher than 0.1 % are registered in the SCIP database at the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency). The products receive aluminium and/or copper alloys in our joining technology and were mentioned in the current REACH declaration of conformity to Directive EC/1907/2006 of 28.02.2022. They may continue to be sold and are not subject to a sales ban. The SCIP database number is protected by data protection laws and is not listed here.

The reason for introducing the SCIP database is described in Directive (EU) 2018/851, paragraph 38: ‘When products, materials and substances become waste, the presence of hazardous substances in these wastes may make them unsuitable for recycling or for the production of high-quality secondary raw materials. Therefore, in line with the Seventh Environmental Action Programme, which provides for the development of zero-impact material cycles, it is necessary to promote measures to reduce the content of hazardous substances in materials and products, including recycled materials, and to ensure that sufficient information on the presence of hazardous substances, and in particular substances of very high concern, is provided throughout the life cycle of products and materials. In order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to better harmonise Union legislation on waste, chemicals and products and to involve the European Chemicals Agency to ensure that information on the presence of substances of very high concern is provided throughout the life cycle of products and materials, including at the waste stage.’

During the assembly of screw connectors and screw cable lugs, forces occur that can no longer be compensated for by hand. As a result, deformations can occur in the transition area. Deformations can impair the function of the fitting and damage the conductor material. The use of a counterholder is recommended due to the leverage effect of various tools.

The tensile strength of BBC Cellpack fittings depends on the system used (e.g.: shell with fastening, screw connection, tensile connectors). The standard for fittings does not provide for a tensile test of the assembled sleeve. The standard for compression and screw connectors refers to DIN EN 61238-1, which describes the requirements for mechanical testing. Strain relief does not imply the application of tensile forces.

If a cable lug is not already supplied by BBC Cellpack, it must be selected according to certain criteria. In addition to the conductor (material, cross-section, shape), the length and diameter of the hole, longitudinal watertightness is particularly important. This is due to the fact that the fitting is directly exposed to environmental influences (e.g. rain).

Compression cable lugs to DIN 46235 and compression connectors to DIN 46267 are generally suitable for hexagonal compression of class 5 and 6 conductors (DIN/IEC 60228); this can be verified in a separate test sequence (e.g. DIN IEC 61238).

The standard crimping pliers available on the market for insulated connectors must be used. Please enquire with your trusted manufacturer.

• The tools in the table have been tested as assembly tools. As things stand at present, there will be no manufacturer-neutral approval of impact wrenches, as only tested tools can be approved (product liability).
• Notes on assembly: The tools must not be defective, must be used correctly and in accordance with the enclosed instructions and must be positioned correctly and perpendicular to the shear bolt.
• There must be no leverage on the shear bolt. Suitable tool inserts (one-piece) must be used. The battery must be sufficiently charged. Assembly must be carried out in accordance with the assembly instructions. The connectors or cable lugs must be approved for the respective area of application.schuhe müssen für den jeweiligen Anwendungsbereich zugelassen sein.

For concentric conductors (without a fixed conductor shape), compression connectors that have been tested in accordance with DIN 46267 can be used. Screw solutions are also possible, but these must first be tested for suitability.

The AK screw-type branch terminals from BBC Cellpack are suitable for branching aluminium or copper conductors. To ensure that no parts are lost, it is advisable to open the AK terminal only after the cable ends have been prepared. To do this, the main conductor is stripped in the contact area without cutting the conductor. The conductor of the branch is also stripped at the end and then placed over the main conductor. To open the AK terminal block, remove the contact screw and the upper plastic half. The AK terminal is assembled in reverse order.

It is also possible to connect two aluminium or two copper conductors, but the combination of Al and CU is not possible due to the design.

The FK overhead cable clamps from BBC Cellpack are suitable for branching copper conductors. To ensure that no parts are lost, it is advisable to open the FK clamp only after the cable ends have been prepared. To do this, the main conductor is stripped in the contact area without cutting the conductor. The conductor of the branch is also stripped at the end and then placed over the main conductor. To open the FK terminal, remove the nut. The FK terminal is installed in reverse order. It is also possible to connect two copper conductors.

The KP branch terminals from BBC Cellpack are suitable for branching copper conductors. To open the KP terminal, the screw is turned to the end of the thread. The main and branch cables are then positioned in the housing cut-outs provided without stripping the insulation. To assemble the KP terminal, the screw is tightened again and the wires are contacted using the integrated contact cutter.

The SHE building entry system is not suitable for installation in floor slabs.

Whether a shrink sleeve is possible for cable sheath repair is a matter for the cable manufacturer's damage assessment. The shrink sleeve only provides mechanical protection and prevents the ingress of moisture. The shrink sleeve does not fulfil any beneficial properties for the operation of E90.

Der SRAT Warmschrumpfschlauch ist als Aderisolierschlauch bei Endverschlüssen und als Schutz gegen Korrosion anwendbar. Er darf nicht zum Schutz von Sammelschienen und zur Verkürzung von Abständen dieser Sammelschienen verwendet werden. Diese Funktion wurde nicht geprüft und kann somit nicht gewährleistet werden. Die passende Lösung für diese Anwendung ist der SRBB Schlauch.

The heat-shrinkable fittings offered by BBC Cellpack are suitable for installation under plaster. The use of individual conduits without hot-melt adhesive is not recommended, as in this case there is no protection against the ingress of moisture and the insulating function of the conduit over the remote cable cannot be fulfilled.

Heat-shrink components are components that shrink back to their original production state when heat is applied, such as, for example: Split caps, end caps, hoses or sleeves. A hot air blower can be used for shrinking. However, the heat input is lower compared to a gas burner. This extends the duration of the shrinking process. The settings and nozzle must be selected individually depending on the hot air gun used. It is important to ensure that no burns occur on the surface of the shrink tubing.

If it is a tube with hot-melt adhesive (SRH...), the adhesive will slowly leak out at both ends. Important indicators of correct shrinkage are even wall thicknesses and straight labelling.

Our sleeves undergo extensive testing procedures, such as the DIN EN 50393 test standard, which enables us to guarantee that our sleeves will function permanently and are safe. To avoid having to take on this responsibility, we strongly advise against doing so.

The decision as to whether a cable sheath can be repaired lies with the person responsible in the network. This depends on the damage and the properties that the cable sheath fulfils. A cable may generally only be repaired with a sleeve if the damage only affects the outer cable sheath. If additional damage to the core insulation is detected, repair using a sleeve is not permitted. The cable must then be repaired as a complete system, either with additional insulation and sealing components over the damaged core(s) or, if necessary, by installing a connecting sleeve over the damaged cable section.

If the decision is made to repair using a shrink sleeve, the sleeve should be selected based on the values mentioned in the catalogue.

When selecting the correct sleeve, the operating voltage of the cable is not the decisive factor. The functions of the sleeves are described below - restoration of the cable outer sheath in its three functions of insulation, protection against moisture and mechanical protection.

It must be ensured that the cable cross-section and the minimum diameter above the insulation are within the specified range of the fitting. Reverse connection is not possible. In most cases, the system voltages to be used are specified on the existing and enclosed documentation.

Cellpack SR(H), SRAT, SRBB hoses do not contain any chlorine (or other halogenated materials), sulphur, heavy metals or substances hazardous to health. A corresponding RohS and Reach conformity confirmation is available for the respective component.

The customer's/user's requirements for the end product and the requirements for its function in its operating environment are important. In principle, halogen-free shrink components can also be used on halogen-containing cables (PVC) and halogen-containing shrink components (e.g. flame-retardant tubing) can also be used on halogen-free cables (PE, XLPE).

Our heat shrink products have been tried and tested for decades. The electrical and mechanical properties after cooling ensure a durable and reliable cable connection. A heat shrink product can be ordered in stock, as they can be stored indefinitely.

Due to normative changes, there are currently no fittings available for EX areas.

UL approved are the hoses type SR1F and SR1F3. Both hose types are listed in the UL directory under document number E172094.

A pipe is first extruded from polyolefin granulate. Depending on the hose type, the hot-melt adhesive is also applied in this step (co-extruded). The hoses are then subjected to electron beam crosslinking. This changes the molecular structure, giving the hoses a ‘memory’. In a further work step with the addition of heat, the tube is expanded to the required diameter, then cooled directly and finally cut. When heated, the tube ‘remembers’ its original state and shrinks back.

Low-voltage shrink sleeves are subject to the requirements of the DIN EN 50393 standard, which describes precise test methods and test requirements for fittings with a rated voltage of 0.6/1.0 (1.2) kV. The standard properties and requirements for heat-shrinkable tubing are contained in the IEC 60684 standard (Part 1: Definitions and general requirements, Part 2: Test methods, Part 3: Requirements for individual types of tubing).

The categorisation of degrees of protection (types of protection) is a component of DIN EN 60529 (VDE 0470). According to this standard, the extent of protection provided by an enclosure against access to hazardous parts, against the ingress of solid foreign bodies and/or against the ingress of water is verified by standardised test methods. In both cases (low-voltage shrink sleeves/hoses), there is no additional enclosure, which means that the degree of protection cannot be tested.

In der Montageanleitung der Fernmeldemuffen VASMI sowie SMHF wird dieser Schritt wie folgt dargestellt:

A) Vorbereitung der Kabel
Kabel gemäß Zeichnung überlappen lassen:

Die Kabel werden genauso wie bei Verbindungsmuffen, je nach Kabeltyp, vorbereitet.

B) Schirmverbindung

Schirmverbindung wie bei Verbindungsmuffe herstellen.
Schirmverbindungsabzweigklemme und Leitung (aus MSFA entnehmen und gemäß beiliegender Montageanleitung) montieren.

Das Zubehör-Set MSFA ist nur bei Abzweigmuffen notwendig.

First position the splitting cap on the cable splice. First set the gas burner to a soft yellow flame. Now start to heat the gusset (1) radially. Continue this movement while shrinking the shaft (2+3) in the direction of the cable sheath. Now switch back to the shaft and shrink the fingers (4) towards the core at regular intervals, also heating the inside of the splice. After a short time, the adhesive will slowly emerge from the end of the shaft and the splitting fingers. Important indicators of correct shrinkage are even wall thicknesses and straight labelling.

First position the heat-shrink tubing. First set the gas burner to a soft yellow flame. Now start heating radially from the centre. Continue this movement while first shrinking one side completely. Now switch back to the centre and repeat the process on the other side.

If it is a tube with hot-melt adhesive (SRH...), the adhesive will slowly emerge at both ends. Important indicators of correct shrinkage are even wall thicknesses and straight labelling. The following is an illustration from an assembly instruction for a connection sleeve:

This is used to easily insert cables and lines through walls in buildings.

Put simply, this is a shrink sleeve positioned on a moulded metal spiral. After installation, the cable is pushed through the building entry and sealed by simply heating the ends of the building entry. Installation is as follows:

Firstly, a hole needs to be drilled through the masonry. To ensure that the drill bit with the correct diameter is to hand, it is advisable to consult the BBC Cellpack data sheet. The cable centring device can be used to align the house entry. Once the distances are correct, you can start preparing the sealing compound. This is mixed identically to the casting resin in a two-chamber mixing bag, but has a significantly faster reaction time. A homogeneous seal is now created using a spatula. Due to the short processing time, a separate bag can be used for the inside and outside.
