Description
Key Features
Superior Electrical Insulation & Moisture Sealing
Delivers robust insulation and a watertight seal around cable joints and terminations, preventing electrical faults and extending the lifespan of components.
All-Weather Vinyl (PVC) Backing
The flexible PVC backing provides durability in challenging conditions, maintaining optimal performance in temperatures from -18°C (0°F) to 38°C (100°F) without sacrificing physical or electrical properties.
Self-Fusing Mastic Layer
The rubber-based mastic layer fuses to itself, forming a seamless, void-free insulation layer that ensures consistent, reliable sealing without the need for additional adhesives.
Chemical and UV Resistance
Offers excellent resistance to alkalis, acids, copper corrosion, and UV exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications under intense sunlight and varying weather conditions.
Broad Compatibility
Compatible with all common solid dielectric cable insulations and jointing compounds, simplifying inventory requirements and ensuring versatile use in diverse installation scenarios.
Flexible and Easy to Install
The VM tape conforms easily to irregular shapes and surfaces, enabling quick and efficient installation without heat or special tools.
Applications
Bolted Connections & Service Drops
Ideal for providing effective insulation and moisture protection for bolted connections and service drops in utility lines.
Traffic Signal & Lighting Connections
Perfect for securing and protecting wires in traffic signal and lighting installations, ensuring reliable operation under harsh outdoor conditions.
Transformer Bushing & Grounding Rod Connections
Enhances protection for transformer bushings, grounding rods, and other critical electrical connections, preventing corrosion and maintaining system integrity.
Cable End Sealing & Terminal Protection
Ensures a secure, moisture-resistant seal for cable ends, terminals, and secondary compression connections, maintaining performance and reliability in challenging environments.
Installation Guidelines
- When used in junction boxes, cable trays, or gutters, overwrap connectors with at least one half-lapped layer of glass cloth tape or varnished cambric tape before applying RCS-2210 VM tape.
- For direct burial or continuous water submersion, overwrap the VM tape with a minimum of two half-lapped layers of plastic electrical tape to ensure long-term water resistance.
