Silicone Cold Shrink Tube for 4.3-10 RF Connector
Cold shrink tube is designed for weatherproofing protection on connections between jumper cable and connector (7-16 DIN, N type or 4.3-10) of wireless equipment, such as RRU, Antenna and Microwave. Comparing with tape sealing protection, cold shrink tube installation is much shorter (15-30 seconds), convenient installation, uniform appearance for acceptance.
Product Features
» Easy and quick installation
» Does not require any tools or heat
» Provides good thermal stability
» Accommodates a broad range of cable sizes
» Excellent tear resistant
» UV and ozone aging resistant
Note: In certain applications, a foam tape will be needed for smaller cable diameter that cannot be covered with the tube range, the foam tape is used to increase the smaller cable diameter and assure the sealing of clod shrink tube.
