resistant seal

2 Application 3M™ RSB Wraparound Heat Shrink Cable Repair

Sleeves are designed to quickly repair damaged

cable jacketing. They may also be used to rejacket

in-line splices.

RSB wrap sleeves can be used as insulation material

on cable and splices up to 1000 volts and as jacket

repair material on cable up to 35kV. The design of

the wrap sleeve allows it to be installed in tight

spaces with ordinary heating equipment such as a

torch.

3 Technical Features

3M™ RSB is made from modified cross-linked

polyolefin, with a hot-melt adhesive liner on the

inner side of the sleeve. Upon heating, the sleeve

shrinks and the adhesive melts, creating a water-tight

bond between the sleeve and the cable. RSB

Wraparound Cable Repair Sleeves meet ANSI

C119.1 requirements. A corrosion proof

metal channel is used to close the sleeve during

installation.

3M RSB wrap sleeves are stocked in two lengths and

three diameters. Other cut lengths are available upon

request.
