What is the classification of Heat Shrinkable Cable Accessories

Heat Shrinkable Cable Accessories are classified based on various criteria such as voltage level, application, function, and component type. Below is a structured classification:

1. By Voltage Level

This is the most common classification:

Low Voltage (LV): Up to 1 kV

Medium Voltage (MV): 1 kV to 36 kV

High Voltage (HV): Above 36 kV

2. By Application / Function

Heat shrinkable accessories are used in different parts of a cable installation:

Cable Terminations:

Used at the end of cables to connect to equipment like transformers, switchgear, or overhead lines.

Indoor Terminations

Outdoor Terminations

Cable Joints (Splices):

Used to connect two cable ends together.

Straight Joints

Transition Joints (e.g., PILC to XLPE)

Breakouts and Boots:

For sealing and insulating cable cores where they split.

Insulating Tubes and Sleeves:

For general insulation and environmental protection.

3. By Installation Environment

Indoor Accessories

Outdoor Accessories

Submersible Accessories (for wet or buried environments)

4. By Component Type

Specific products used in assemblies:

Heat shrink tubes/sleeves

Stress control tubes

Insulation tubes

Semi-conductive tubes

Sealing tubes/mastic/sealants

Heat shrinkable breakouts and boots

5. By Cable Type

For XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) cables

For PILC (Paper Insulated Lead Covered) cables

For EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) cables

For telecom or signal cables
