Cold shrinkable accessories are used for telecom applications such as coaxial cable termination, connectors, and coaxial cable splicing. They provide a secure, environmental seal, which reduces the risk of signal interference and degradation, ultimately resulting in better system performance.
They are very easy to install and require no special tools or heating devices, which saves considerable time and money. In addition, they provide an excellent environmental seal for cables, ensuring protection against harsh weather conditions, dust, and moisture.
They are designed to be installed in dry environments where there is minimal exposure to moisture, chemicals, and UV light.
Similar to adding clothes when it's cold, thicker clothes are effective in keeping out the cold, and thinner clothes have relatively weak ability to keep out the cold. Therefore, the thicker the heat shrinkable tube, the better its mechanical protection.
Most people are familiar with heat shrink, but many have not heard of cold shrink. So what is cold shrink and when and where do you use it? We'll use this article to answer those questions.
Heat shrinkable material has become increasingly popular in recent years as an effective way to protect and repair various types of wiring and cables.
