• Wide application range 

• Silicon material 

Trifurcating kits provide the facility 

to terminate 3/Core XLPE cable 

into small cable boxes where the 

dimensions required for a standard 

3/Core termination are diffi cult to 

maintain. This simple solution gives 

you the advantage of performing a 

crossover outside the cable box, and 

the installation of a single core cable 

accessories rather than a 3/Core. Kit 

consists of a full length heat-shrink 

tube (to allow for re-jacketing of the 

cable cores which lets you cut to 

length to suit an on site application), 

breakout boot, phase markers & 

protection sleeve.
