Incorporates SuperSleeve sealing gel material for strength and durabilityThe PBSS pressure blocking system is a fast,simple, and efficient method of forming a pressure dam in telecommunications cable. It has been specifically designed for use on polyethylene insulated conductor cable. PBSS closures incorporate SuperSleeve sealinggel material, which combines the strength anddurability of composite design with provenheat-shrink technology. SuperSleeve sealing gel
material is composed of several layers of specially blended polymers and
industrial adhesives, a fiber-reinforcing layer, and an aluminum moisture vapor barrier layer. The fiber-
reinforcing layer provides excellent mechanical
strength and eliminates the propagation of
localized damage that can result from over-
heating or other errors in installation. Once thePBSS sleeve has been installed, the composite
design of the SuperSleeve sealing gel material provides superior mechanical protection from
forces such as impact and abrasion.This unique product places the blocking compound under hydraulic compression to deliver it under pressure to potential leak interfaces, eliminating the need to removegroup binders. The PBSS pressurized blockingtechnique results in smaller-diameter blocks,
thereby requiring significantly less blocking
compound than other methods. For riser applications, PBSS sleeves feature easier placement and use of smaller U-Guard risers.The heat-activated adhesive on the inside of thePBSS wraparound sleeve bonds to the cablesheath to provide mechanical strength. The
fast-acting bonding action means that the cable
can be handled minutes after installation, and
the pressure dam is protected during placement
and throughout its life.Just two sleeve sizes will accommodate singleor double sheath cable with diameters from 0.5to 4.0 inches.
