TE Connectivity's Tool Free Termination (TFT-R)

5/8 kV-35 kV

TE Connectivity’s (TE) Raychem TFT-R elastomeric medium voltage cable termination is available for both shielded, non-shielded, indoor and outdoor applications. TFT-R terminations are designed for customers who prefer cold applied terminations.

TE’s Raychem TFT-R terminations feature an advanced stress control system using metal oxide matrix technology that provides superior electrical performance. They feature an outer elastomeric insulation tubing formulated for long-term performance in extreme environments. The tubing comes with a pre-lubricated, crush resistant core (holdout)for simple installation. The superior elastomeric insulation tubing, together with the positive positioned stress control system and moisture sealing mastic, provide simple, reliable, and consistent installations.

TFT-R, TFT-R-G, and TFT-R-SG terminations are designed for 5/8, 15,25 and 35 kV single conductor shielded and non-shielded extruded dielectric cables up to 1250 kcmil.

Key Features:

  • Provides maintenance free, long life even in highly contaminated areas
  • Material does not degrade in outdoor applications; outstanding UV stability
  • Crush resistant core prevents collapsing due to rough handling
  • Seals out all moisture and contamination
  • Provides easier installation in confined spaces
  • Fewer kits to accomodate a wide range of cable sizes
