Looking To Buy Low Voltage Cable Joints?

Using good quality cable joints will reduce the amount of time and labour usually involved when joining electrical cables. A cable joint not only provides the required connection between conductors, but is also designed in a way which is intended to reflect the construction of the cable itself.

When specifying cable joints, it’s vital to consider a number of different factors, including the voltage; whether it’s for internal/external use, if it’s going to be buried or even if the joint will be exposed to hazardous atmospheric conditions.

Cable joints are designed for low, medium and high voltages, and in different application types such as coldshrink and heatshrink as well for different cable configurations such as, branch, transition and straight installations.

At ETS Cable Components we have a range of low voltage cable joints, oversleeving and cable jointing accessories.
