Medium Voltage Terminations
Nexans OTK Cold Shrink Termination | XLPE Outdoor Single Core 12kV 24kV MV Cables
December 5th, 2018
Cable Termination | Cold Shrink | Single Core | 11kV 24kV
Cable Terminations
Nexans OTK are single core cold shrink cable terminations for use indoor and specified to terminate and connect medium/high voltage cables in the following voltage classes:
- 6/10 (12) kV
- 6.35/11 (12) kV
- 8.7/15 (17.5) kV
- 12/20 (24) kV
- 12.7/22 (24) kV
Cold Shrinkable terminations require no “hot-working” for safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres and hazardous area locations – the cable terminations are designed for use with polymeric insulated cables (XLPE & EPR). To enable the fault repair, extension, splicing and jointing of existing LV MV HV power cables up to 33kV we also stock a complete range of cold shrink joints.

Cold Shrink Outdoor Cable Terminations 11kV 24kV Euromold OTK – Design
Outdoor cold shrink cable termination comprising:
- Cable lug (not included in the standard kit) – both crimp cable lugs and shearbolt lugs are suitable
- Water sealing mastic
- Sheds which be installed upwards or down
- Silicone tube with sheds
- Silicone cold shrink tube
- Stress control mastic
- Conductive EPDM ring
