EPDM Rubber Splices for Coaxial Cable Connections

Shrink is ideal for wireless communications towers and other exposed coaxial interfaces.

Each 3M kit includes a cold shrink EPDM rubber sleeve

which is factory-expanded and placed on a removable

plastic core. Simply prepare the connection, position the

tube and unwind the pre-scored core. The natural tendency

of the rubber sleeve to return to its original diameter

provides constant radial pressure, forming a reliable, water-

resistant seal. All without heat, special tools or a time-

consuming installation procedure. And, it’s easily removed when system maintenance is required.

Unique Benefits

• Reliable seal against water.

• Tough, resilient rubber holds pressure seal, even after exposure.

• Broad application range; can lower inventory costs.

• Eliminates need for heat source or special tools.

• Reduces installation time for sealing jobs.

• Easily removed for inspections or disconnects.

• Resistant to fungus, ozone, alkalies and acids.

• Constant radial pressure helps connectors stay together in wind and vibration.

Applications

• Installation features make it the preferred coax connection seal:

• Simple installation requires only installer’s hands.

• Good thermal stability.

• Excellent weathering properties.

• Excellent abrasion resistance.

Tested Reliable

Since it was first developed by 3M over 30 years ago, 3M Cold Shrink technology has proven reliable in extreme conditions.

3M Cold Shrink has been successfully tested to the water seal requirements of ANSI Standard C119.1 and NEMA

Publication No. CC-P1 (12.0” and 36.0” water depths). The 3M Cold Shrink Sealing Kit is RoHS compliant.*
