Description
Key Features:
Dual-Wall Design (RCS-RA2):
The dual-wall design features an inner layer of hot melt adhesive, providing a secure, moisture-resistant seal that enhances the protection of cables.
Customizable Lengths:
Supplied in cut pieces up to 1.5 meters, this tubing allows for flexible and efficient usage in a variety of installations.
UV Resistant:
The UV-resistant material ensures long-lasting durability, even in outdoor environments with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Semi-Rigid Construction:
Combining flexibility with robust mechanical performance, the semi-rigid construction ensures easy installation and reliable protection.
Flame Retardant:
The flammable properties meet specific safety requirements for applications that require controlled flammability.
Shrink Ratio 3:1:
The 3:1 shrink ratio accommodates a wide range of cable sizes, reducing inventory needs and simplifying installation.
High-Temperature Recovery:
The tubing fully recovers at a minimum temperature of 120℃, ensuring a tight and secure fit, even in high-temperature environments.
Applications:
Medium-Voltage Cable Insulation and Repair:
The RCS-R2/RCS-RA2 tubing is ideal for insulating and repairing medium-voltage cables, providing both mechanical protection and electrical insulation.
UV and Environmental Protection:
Perfect for outdoor applications, offering UV resistance and reliable protection against moisture and environmental stresses.
Why Choose RCS-R2/RCS-RA2 Medium Wall Tubing?
The RCS-R2/RCS-RA2 provides excellent protection for medium-voltage cables, with the flexibility to meet various application needs. The dual-wall design, featuring an inner hot melt adhesive lining, ensures superior moisture resistance and sealing, while the UV-resistant properties ensure durability in outdoor environments.
Shelf Life & Storage:
The RCS-R2/RCS-RA2 Heat Shrink Tubing has a shelf life of over 5 years when stored in a humidity-controlled environment (temperature range -10°C to 40°C, relative humidity <75%).
