The RCS-RA3 features a dual-wall design with an inner hot melt adhesive lining that enhances sealing against moisture, contaminants, and other environmental factors, ensuring optimal performance.
UV Resistant:
Designed to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure, the tubing offers excellent UV resistance, maintaining integrity even in harsh weather conditions.
Flame Retardant:
Meets industry standards for controlled flammability, making it suitable for medium and high-voltage applications where safety is critical.
Semi-Rigid Design:
Combines flexibility with superior mechanical strength, making the tubing ideal for versatile installation in challenging environments.
Shrink Ratio 3:1:
With a 3:1 shrink ratio, the tubing accommodates a wide range of cable sizes, reducing inventory requirements and simplifying installation processes.
Custom Lengths:
Available in custom lengths up to 1.5 meters, providing flexibility for various installations and reducing waste.
High-Temperature Performance:
The tubing fully recovers at a minimum temperature of 120℃, ensuring a tight and secure fit for reliable insulation and protection.
Applications:
Cable Insulation and Protection:
Ideal for medium and high-voltage cables, providing robust mechanical protection and sealing in environments where durability and safety are paramount.
Harsh Environmental Conditions:
Perfect for installations requiring UV resistance, moisture sealing, and mechanical durability, such as outdoor or underground applications.
