Compact Cable Joints MV | 11kV 33kV Cables
Lovink LoviSil® Compact Cable Joint | MV 6/10 (11) kV – 18/30 (33) kV
Product Code: LoviSil® Compact Joint (Module Selection Required)
Lovink LoviX® R Compact Straight Cable Joint is a medium voltage (MV) straight-through joint engineered for connecting polymeric insulated cables (XLPE/EPR – 1-core) in distribution and industrial networks. The LoviX® R design combines advanced cold-shrink technology with a robust ABS housing that is filled with Protolin® resin, creating a sealed joint body that helps protect against moisture ingress and supports long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Available for common MV system classes including 6/10 (12) kV and 12/20 (24) kV, LoviX® R is typically specified across networks commonly referenced as 11kV and 33kV class, with the correct joint size selected by insulation diameter, outer sheath diameter and conductor cross-section. Supplied as a complete kit with components packed in installation order, it’s designed for a clean, flame-free jointing process using minimal tools.

The Lovink LoviX® R Compact Cable Joint is a straight-through MV joint designed for joining polymeric insulated cables (XLPE/EPR – 1-core) in distribution and industrial power networks. It’s built for repair, extension and new-build jointing where installers want a sealed, flame-free system with repeatable quality and strong environmental protection.
LoviX® R Technology
LoviX® R combines advanced cold-shrink insulation (silicone rubber with geometric field control) with a robust ABS housing that is filled with Protolin® resin. This construction creates a compact joint body that helps reduce pathways for moisture ingress, while also providing mechanical robustness for demanding locations such as ducts, trenches and direct-buried routes. Kits are supplied as complete sets with components packed in installation order to support efficient, consistent on-site build-up using minimal tools.
MV Network Classes (11kV / 33kV)
The LoviX® R range is available for common MV systems including 6/10 (12) kV and 12/20 (24) kV cable ratings, aligning with networks often referred to as 11kV and 33kV class (final selection depends on the installed cable system). Correct joint sizing is determined by the conductor cross-section and cable dimensions — including insulation diameter and outer sheath diameter — to ensure the right electrical interface and a secure, long-life seal.

Transition Cable Joint – Key Benefits
✔ Compact MV cable joint engineered for straight-through splicing of polymeric cables (XLPE / EPR – 1-core)
✔ Cold-shrink insulation system with silicone rubber and geometric field control for dependable electrical stress management
✔ Sealed joint body: robust ABS housing filled with Protolin® resin to help prevent moisture ingress and protect in harsh environments
✔ Flame-free installation approach — well suited to hot-work restricted sites, confined spaces and sensitive locations
✔ Supplied as a complete kit with components packed in installation order, supporting faster, more consistent build quality on-site
✔ Designed to cope with thermal stress from load cycling and operate reliably across high and low temperatures (with correct selection)
✔ Selection is dimension-led (CSA + insulation Ø + sheath Ø), making it easier to specify the correct compact joint for the installed cable build
✔ Suitable for MV cable system ratings including 6/10 (12) kV and 12/20 (24) kV (commonly referenced as 11kV and 33kV class)
✔ Type-tested in accordance with CENELEC HD 629 and IEEE 404 for added confidence in performance and compliance
✔ Strong choice for MV repairs, network extensions and new jointing where long-life sealing and repeatable installation matter
Applications
✔ Straight-through jointing of polymeric MV cables (XLPE / EPR – 1-core) where a compact, sealed joint body is preferred
✔ MV cable repairs, extensions and new splice points in distribution and industrial circuits
✔ Utility and private MV networks (incl. 11kV and 33kV class projects subject to correct cable system rating and selection)
✔ Installations in ducts, trenches and direct-buried routes where moisture sealing and mechanical protection are critical
✔ Substations, switchrooms and MV feeder circuits requiring repeatable, flame-free jointing practices
✔ Industrial sites, renewables and infrastructure projects using MV polymeric cable systems
✔ Locations with hot-work restrictions where cold-applied jointing improves safety and logistics
✔ Projects targeting long-term reliability under load cycling and variable operating temperatures (with correct joint selection)
Compact Cable Joint – Additional Information
LoviX® R Compact MV Cable Joints are built around a cold-shrink insulation system and a sealed joint body designed for long service life in demanding installations. Rather than relying on heat-shrink steps, LoviX® R uses silicone rubber insulation with geometric field control to manage electrical stress around the connector area. This supports consistent joint quality where performance depends on clean interfaces, controlled field distribution and the correct dimensional selection for the installed cable.
A key difference with LoviX® R is its compact protective housing: a robust ABS shell is filled with Protolin® resin to create a sealed joint body that helps prevent moisture ingress and adds mechanical robustness for ducts, trenches and direct-buried routes. Supplied as a complete kit with parts packed in installation order, LoviX® R is designed to reduce on-site variability, especially on projects where time, safety controls and repeatable workmanship are critical.
✔ Compact & protected: sealed ABS housing with Protolin® resin helps safeguard against moisture ingress and adds mechanical robustness
✔ Controlled electrical stress: silicone cold-shrink insulation with geometric field control supports dependable MV performance
✔ Flame-free jointing: cold-applied approach reduces hot-work requirements and suits safety-controlled environments
✔ Repeatable installation: complete kit, organised parts and minimal tooling help reduce on-site variability
✔ Dimension-led selection: size choice is based on conductor CSA plus insulation and sheath diameters for the installed cable
✔ Standards-backed: stated compliance testing to HD 629 and IEEE 404 supports specification for MV networks (selection dependent)
✔ Built for harsh routes: suited to ducts, trenches and direct-buried installations where sealing and long-term reliability matter
