Shielded angular head (COUPLING) for 20kV linear field to connect to RSTI, type RSTI-5851 (95-240), brand Raychem / TE Connectivity TE-CM0097 RSTI-CC-5854

Angled shielded connector for medium voltage cable connection

This shielded angled connector, type RSTI-5854 (along with coupling head RSTI-CC-5854), from Raychem / TE Connectivity, is designed for the safe and reliable connection of cables in gas distribution switchgear. It is a key component for connecting cables with a cross-section of 95 mm² to 240 mm² and a rated voltage of 12/20 kV. This connector, in combination with appropriate C1 and C2 cable glands, ensures optimal fit and performance.

Design and application

The RSTI-5854 angled connector is designed to work with insulating bushings, allowing the connection of single-core cables with plastic insulation. Its construction based on modified silicone rubber provides high resistance to environmental conditions and long-term reliability. The ability to build double and triple systems increases flexibility in various network configurations. Importantly, the high-voltage test of the cable sheath and insulation can be performed without disconnecting the connector from the device – this saves time and minimizes the risk of damage.
