3M 92-NBA Scotchcast Resin Cable Joints (40G Resin) – Unarmoured Cables
cABLE JOINTS FOR LV POWER CABLES
3M 92-NBA Scotchcast resin cable joint kits are designed for use with 1-core to 5 core non shielded (unarmoured) polymeric low voltage energy cables.
3M 92-NBA Scotchcast cable joints incorporate electrical insulation and mechanical protection and are compatible with both compression (crimp) or mechanical shearbolt connectors for conductor jointing of copper or aluminium cores.
Jointing kits can be used for indoor and outdoor, underground direct burial and submerged applications in non-hazardous area locations – straight and transition joints (jointing dissimilar cable insulation types) including EPR, XLPE and PILC cable are available.
3M Scotchcast hazardous area cable joints are available for jointing power, pilot and instrumentation cables in Zone 1 and Zone 2 potentially explosive atmospheres – see information about Cold Shrink type cable joints for safe installation (“no hot-working”) required for hazardous area location (HAZLOC) applications.
AGL Airfield Ground Lighting Cable Jointing Kits
These cable joints are also suitable for Single Core Airfield Ground Lighting Cables rated to 6kV with the use of additional kit components – designed for safety-critical airport and airfield systems. The resin based cable jointing system utilises Scotchcast resin to provide a moisture seal and robust mechanical protection – additional electrical insulation is provided by the inclusion of 3M Scotch 23 tape – for 5kV/10kV cables 3M Electrical recommend a total of 5 wrapped layers of Scotch 23 tape to reinsulate the appropriate rated electrical connector.

3m Cable Joint description – 92-NBA
3M Scotchcast 92-NBA resin inline or straight cable joint kits are supplied with a one part translucent mould body for simple and easy handling. Distances inside the cable joint body can be checked easily.
All necessary dimensions, including kit application range, cable preparation are given in the detailed jointing instruction.
The two foam sealing elements can be adapted to the required cable diameter by removing the pre-cut adapter rings.
Scotchcast resin 40G is delivered in a two chamber bag with integrated spout and aluminium Guard Bag for protection of the resin against humidity.
The re-openable seam and integrated spout with a membrane provides a 3M Closed, Mixing and Pouring (pictured) cable jointing system.
After the seam of the two chamber bag is opened, the Scotchcast resin components can be mixed.
To pour the resin into the mould body, the spout is connected with the dome by turning 180°.
While turning, the membrane is cut open to pour the resin. The 3M Closed Mixing and Pouring System provides resin handling without any skin contact – for protection against pollution, a closure cap is applied onto the dome. After curing, the remaining joint resin in the bag can be disposed as household waste.

3M Scotchcast 40G Resin
Scotchcast 40G resin is in compliance with EU regulation 1907/2007/EC (REACH) and has a shelf life of at least 36 months when stored between 10°C and 40°C with a humidity level < 75 % in the originally sealed bag.
The expiration date of each product appears on the product label. Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, it is the responsibility of the user to determine applicability of the resin.
Complete range of Scotchcast Resins are available to protect and encapsulate cable joints operating at LV MV HV including zero halogen, fire resistant, hydrocarbon resistant and seawater resistant types.
