Nexans marks a new era in heat-shrinkable joints, improving overall reliability of power networks

• Nexans’ JTS heat-shrinkable joint represents a technical innovation which simplifies the installation process
• The new technology improves overall reliability of power distribution networks, shortens the installation time, and reduces joint failure risks

Cable joints are an instrumental part of the electrical network, guaranteeing the continual stream of electrical current. Fueled by a passion to electrify the future, Nexans has released JTS, a new heat-shrinkable joint with triple layer tube.

The triple layer tube allows installers to heat only one tube instead of three for 12 to 24 kV applications, and two tubes instead of three for 36 to 42 kV applications. This simplifies and shortens the installation process and minimizes the risk of the joint failure.

Nexans JTS heat-shrinkable joints bring a range of innovative features and operational benefits, such as a short and slim design, advanced screen connection, armor continuity, and heavy wall tubing for high mechanical strength and impact resistance. It also provides stabilized UV protection and protection against water penetration and chemical aggression.

JTS is compatible with single or three-core cables, with copper or aluminum screens. Its standard design was adapted for all types and brands of mechanical connectors.

To meet the ongoing evolution of market needs and customer demand, Nexans has been continually investing in R&D to improve heat-shrinkable (HS) technology.

With several hundred installers trained worldwide in 2021 on heat-shrinkable technology, Nexans is driving the market to continue rolling the innovative JTS throughout the world.
