With a portfolio of globally-recognized product lines,
TE
Connectivity (TE) delivers world-class performance for any project. We
pioneered the use of heat shrink technology with the introduction of our
Raychem product line over 60 years ago, and were the first to use
silicone materials for hollow core insulators. Today, our engineers use
new materials with enhanced properties to support ever-changing energy
demands.
As
the force behind some of the largest product lines for substation
connectivity, including Bowthorpe EMP, SIMEL and AXICOM, TE has
established a reputation for superior reliability and quality. We’re
always on the forefront of technology and innovation, creating lighter,
smaller environmentally-friendly solutions for a full range of low,
medium and high voltage applications.
From
renewable raw material resins to products that are resistant to thermal
aging and UV light, TE brings an expertise in materials science to life
with a variety of innovative, real-world applications.

Engineering a Greener Tomorrow
As part of our
commitment to energy efficiency, we’ve started using new,
environmentally-friendly materials. One of our most recent developments
in Europe is the GUROFLEX-N lead-free casting material made from
renewable raw materials. This solvent-free product is water and
corrosion resistant and is an excellent insulating material.
Raychem / TE Connectivity's medium wall, heat shrinkable BPTM tubing provides insulation enhancement and protection against flash over and accidentally induced discharge.
Particularly useful in confined spaces, BPTM tubing can be used on both circular and rectangular copper or aluminum busbars. On application of heat, the BPTM tubing shrinks snugly over the busbar profile ensuring that the required minimum wall thickness is obtained. Raychem BPTM tubing can be installed easily during large scale production using an oven or in the field using a gas torch or hot air. Raychem BPTM tubing is manufactured from a non-halogen based polymer which has excellent performance in high voltage environments and greatly reduces the noxious and corrosive effects in fire situations.
The use of TE's Raychem BPTM tubing allows equipment designers the freedom to reduce air spacing between busbars, such as in the manufacture of switchgear cabinets where space is at a premium. Raychem BPTM tubing provides flashover protection up to 25kV.
Key Features:
Exceptional insulation and long term reliability even at high continuous operating temperatures.
Extremely durable, resists damage from solvents, ultraviolet light, weathering, mechanical impact and general wear and tear.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Excellent anti-tracking properties.
Can be stored indefinitely at temperatures up to 50C without loss of performance.
CSTO is an outdoor cold shrink termination for copper tape shield cable rated to 15kV. The components for this kit are as follows:
Installation instructions
Silicone Housing on holdout
2 gray sealing mastic
roll spring
solder blocked ground braid
2 adhesive backed copper tape strips
cutback template
In terms of installation equipment (not supplied with kit):
Cable preparation tools
TE P63 cable prep kit
Clean lint free cloth
Non-Conductive abrasive cloth (120 grit or finer)
Electricians tape
Connector and installation tool
The expanded main component
This is the workhorse of the CSTO kit - the "silicone housing on holdout" - it is stretched quite a lot and when the holdout is removed, it snaps down to a much smaller dimension offering insulation and protection to your cable.
This is the technical name of just that silicone component: CSTP-25-OS-VFM.
The other components of the kit - the braided ground wire, the spring and the adhesive strips.
This product is remarkably simple to install - see the following installation video:
