applications.

Energy & Power > Power Cable Accessories > Power Cable Terminations

Our Raychem CST Cold Shrink Termination is designed for polymeric cables up to 42 kV following CENELEC HD
629.1, and up to 35 kV accordingly to IEEE 404. The CST is made of liquid silicone with high tracking and split
resistance, which makes it suitable for use in indoor and outdoor applications CSTI/O.

Insulation: XLPE/EPR

Our Raychem CST Cold Shrink Terminations

are made from high performance, liquid silicone rubber material which is specially formulated for high tracking and split
resistance.
The extra-long stress cone aids in correct positioning, and the integrated void-filling mastic eliminates the need for silicone
grease. Sealing mastic for the lug end is built into the expanded termination, eliminating the need for additional sealing tapes.
These terminations offer a reliable, fast and easy-to-install system to help ensure trouble-free service and to maintain high
network reliability. The key components are pre-expanded on one holdout system, allowing neat installation in compact
environments on the prepared cable.
Our range-taking, shear bolt mechanical lugs support reliable installation and service, and can be supplied with the kit.
The Cold Shrink Termination components have full traceability to raw materials and are in compliance with the following
international standards: IEEE-48, IEC 61238-1, GB 9327, GB 12706.4, CENELEC HD 629.1 (includes IEC, BS, VDE and other
international specifications).

Key Features
• Easy to install spiral holdout
• Chemical-resistant and fungus-resistant
High weathering, UV and ozone resistance
• Hydrophobic silicone material to repel water
