| | | XAGA 500 joint closures are heat-shrinkable closures available for the protection of cable joints in a copper network. Based on the Tyco Electronics technology of heat-shrinkable industrial composite materials, XAGA 500 closures have an excellent split resistance and are verycraft-friendly. The fiber composite structure of the RayFort wraparound sleeve offers excellent resistance to mechanical abuse both during and after installation. An integral metal layer which shrinkswith the sleeve protects thejointfrom moisture vapour transmission. XAGA 500 joint closures are available in an extended size range having a joint capacity up to 800 pairs. The kit includes a variable liner, which insulates, shapes and compacts the joint bundle, and the unique three-finger clipwith industrial hot melt adhesive, which allows upto three cablesateachend. | | The XAGA 550 range of joint closures uses the same composite heat-shrinkable sleeve as the XAGA 500 range and utilizes a metal canister having a joint capacity up to 3600 pairs. Both kits are suitable for unpressurized cables, aerial, buried or ducted, non-filled or jelly-filled, with metal or polyethylene sheaths. The XAGA 530 closure has been developed to perform under severe tropical conditions of high temperature and humidity. Dimensions and service are similar to those of the XAGA 500 series. | | |
