Did you know Cold Shrink, invented and developed by 3M Electrical in the 1970’s, provides:
- Low Cable Failure Rates*:
– 0.067% for Cold Shrink Cable Joints & Cable Splices
– 0.022% for Cold Shrink Terminations
* Data based upon U.S. failure data of U.S. manufactured 3M Cold Shrink Medium Voltage Cable Accessories between 2009 and 2012.
