Discover what 3M™ Cold Shrink Technology can do for you. From easier installation to improved environmental sealing – with 3M™ Cold Shrink Cable Accessories.
For over 60 years, professional electrical workers have trusted 3M for innovative solutions that enhance safety and productivity. That’s why we invented Cold Shrink technology: a revolutionary alternative to traditional heat shrink cable joints and terminations that can be installed in a fraction of the time, without the need for special equipment or permits.
With faster, easier installation, and the long-term reliability provided by superior environmental sealing, 3M™ Cold Shrink Medium Voltage Cable Accessories can help you achieve improved efficiency and performance, as well as significant cost savings.
Since inventing cold shrink more than 40 years ago, we have continuously improved our technology to offer cable accessories that are reliable, safe, and easy to install, with excellent performance.
Fast and easy one-step installation
Long-term reliability
More complex installation
Reliability concerns
3M™ Cold Shrink Products contain elastomeric bonds, giving them elasticity similar to rubber bands. When stretched and then allowed to shrink onto a cable, they exert a strong inward force that produces a constant squeezing effect on the cable – providing excellent electrical performance, and superior environmental sealing compared to heat shrink cable accessories.
