Gel-filled inline closures are a simple and economical solution that ensure connections can be reliably made in harsh environments. This 5-pair single use closure is designed for 0.40mm and 0.64mm 2-pair cables. The closure protects the cable and connectors from environmental damage and is easy and intuitive to use. The outer nylon jacket must be removed when using hard nylon jacket cable only, in order to stop moisture ingress. Suitable for aerial and underground use. Closure is not re-enterable.
Overview
Gel-filled inline closures are a simple and economical solution that ensure connections can be reliably made in harsh environments. For direct burial applications wrap the closure using Dexgreen Sealing Tape Item Code: 51300206.
