Special Features | Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other servere service applications. Units have been designed and tested per IEEE Standard 404 to ensure system matched performance and ratings equal to the cable to which the splice will be installed. Power Cable Joints are available in two styles. Style 1 uses a single-piece housing that is sized to accommodate a specific range of cable - ideally suited to straight splicing of the same or similar cable. Style 2 designs incorporate a universal housing with separate cable adapters to allow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable |

How to Install a Single Core Cable Joint (15PCJ1F2240 Style)
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing cables, installing the conductor splice, and restoring the screen and outer jacket for a permanent, fully screened single core cable joint.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Wire brush, Cleaning solvent, Clean cloth, Crimping tool, Soldering iron (optional, if not using constant force spring), Heat gun, Sandpaper, Measuring tape or ruler
Supplies needed:
PVC tape (multiple colors), Lubricant (supplied with joint kit), Conductor splice (part of joint kit), Flat copper braid (part of joint kit), Constant force spring (optional, part of joint kit), Mastic tape, Heat shrink (part of joint kit), Compression connector (copper or aluminum, as required)
- Prepare Cables by Removing Jacket and Metallic Shield
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation. Train cables into their final position and square cut, leaving approximately 5mm between cables. Store the heat shrink on either cable. Remove the jackets of both cables to the dimensions specified in the documentation (e.g., 405mm for Size A). Carefully remove the cable metallic tape screen for the specified distance (e.g., 125mm for Size A) and secure the ends with PVC tape, ensuring not to overlap onto the non-metallic screen.
- Remove Non-Metallic Screen and Prepare Insulation
WARNING: DO NOT NICK, CUT OR DAMAGE THE INSULATION SURFACE OR CONDUCTOR STRANDS. Carefully remove the cable non-metallic screen (semi-conductive shield) from both cables to the point specified (e.g., 45mm for Size D). Bevel the edge of Cable 1. Cut the insulation to the conductor to dimension 'E' (e.g., 150mm for Size E) from the end of both cables, but DO NOT remove the insulation. Install a PVC tape marker on Cable 2 to dimension 'B' (e.g., 155mm for Size B) to locate the splice later.
- Temporarily Store Joint Housing and Prepare Cable 1
Apply one layer (half lapped) of PVC tape over the metallic screen of Cable 1, beginning at the jacket and extending 10mm beyond the end of the metallic screen. Install a different color PVC tape marker on Cable 1 to dimension 'B' (e.g., 155mm for Size B). Lubricate both cable entrances of the splice housing. Clean and lubricate the insulation, cable non-metallic screen, and PVC taped portion of the cable metallic tape screen on Cable 1. Store the housing onto Cable 1 up to the jacket. WARNING: DO NOT STORE SPLICE HOUSING ON EXPOSED METALLIC TAPE SHIELD. Ensure the forward edge and any other sharp edges of the metallic screen are covered with PVC tape to prevent damage to the joint housing.
- Remove Cable Insulation and Install Conductor Splice
Remove the cable insulation from both cables to dimension 'E' (e.g., 45mm for Size E). DO NOT cut or nick the cable insulation or conductor. Wire brush the exposed conductors of both cables. Immediately insert the conductors into the conductor splice, ensuring both conductors are fully seated. DO NOT CRIMP yet. Check the distance between insulations; if it exceeds the 'Before Crimping' dimension 'F Max' (e.g., 102mm for Size F), DO NOT PROCEED, review instructions and redo. Crimp the conductor splice according to the crimp chart provided. Remove any sharp protrusions or burrs. Metal chips or filings must be removed from the splice joint assembly area. Wipe off all excess inhibitor. Check the distance between cable insulations again; if it exceeds the 'After Crimping' dimension 'F Max' (e.g., 108mm for Size F), DO NOT PROCEED, review instructions and redo.
- Clean and Lubricate Core Surfaces
WARNING: REMOVE ALL CONTAMINANTS FROM THE SURFACE OF THE INSULATION. Clean the conductor, connector, and Cable 2 insulation surfaces with cleaning solvent and a clean cloth. Always wipe towards the screen end. Lubricate the cable insulation surfaces using the lubricant supplied. Always wipe toward the screen end to provide a build-up or ramp of lubricant at the edge of the non-metallic screen.
- Install Joint Housing and Expose Copper Tape
Slide the joint housing over the crimp connector into its final position. Measure the distance between the joint housing and the PVC tape marker. The distance 'X' should be equal on each side of the joint housing. Remove the PVC tape applied in Step C to expose 25mm of copper tape.
- Restore Screen
Wrap flat copper braid around each joint housing, continuing the ends over the metallic tape screen for 20mm on each side. Attach each end of the copper braid to the metallic tape screen by soldering or by using a constant force spring.
- Restore Outer Jacket
Lightly sand the outer surface of the jacket of both cables for a distance of 130mm. Heat both sanded areas for approximately 15 seconds. WARNING: DO NOT BURN CABLES. Wrap two layers of mastic tape at the edge of the jacket on both cables. Position the heat shrink from Cable 1 over the center of the assembly and shrink it, starting at the center and working toward the ends.
