XAGA
Description
The XAGA® splice closure system provides a fast, simple way to seal telephone cable splices in pressurised or non-pressurised telephone cable. The XAGA splice closure is used for aerial, buried and underground applications on polyethylene or lead sheathed cable in sizes up to 3600 pairs. The XAGA splice closure sleeve is made of SuperSleeve sealing material, which combines the strength and durability of composite design with proven heat-shrink technology. SuperSleeve sealing material is composed of several layers of specially blended polymers, adhesives and fibrereinforcing layer. The fibre-reinforcing layer provides excellent mechanical strength and eliminates the propagation of localised damage that can result from overheating or other errors in installation.
Once the XAGA closure sleeve has been installed, the composite design of the SuperSleeve sealing material provides superior mechanical protection from forces such as impact, abrasion, UV light and atmospheric contamination.
Features
- Underground splice used on pressurised and non-pressurised cable
- Re-enterable
- No cable bleed down required
- Use on aerial, buried or underground applications
- Simple and easy to install
- Provides excellent mechanical strength Heat-shrinkable composite joint closure system for environmental and mechanical protection of joints in the unpressurised telephone network: aerial, buried or ducted, non-filled or jelly filled cables with polyethylene, lead, steel or aluminium sheaths
- Composite structure of the reinforced sleeve offers an excellent resistance to mechanical abuse during and after the installation
- Integrated moisture barrier completely reconstitutes the cable sheath over the total splice area
- Hotmelt adhesive forms a watertight seal to the cable sheath
- Supporting liner insulates, shapes and compacts the splice bundle
- Up to 3 cables at each end can be accommodated using three finger clips with hotmelt adhesive
- Installation indication: heat sensitive paint and adhesive flow, white line
- Extended size range can accommodate splices up to 800 pairs
