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 the 15PCJ1LM1380 Single Core Joint
Installation guide for the 15PCJ1LM1380 single core joint for extruded solid dielectric cables.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Screwdriver, Wire strippers, PVC tape, Cleaning solvent, Clean cloth, Lubricant, Soldering iron or constant force spring tool, Heat gun
Supplies needed:
Joint Housing, Conductor splice, Flat copper braid, Mastic tape, Heat shrink tubing
- Prepare the Cables
Train cables into position and square cut. Remove jackets to specified dimensions. Carefully remove metallic screen and secure ends with PVC tape. Remove non-metallic screen, bevel Cable 1, and cut insulation to 'E' dimension without removing it. Install PVC tape marker on Cable 2 to dimension 'B'.
- Prepare and Store the Joint Housing
Apply PVC tape over the metallic screen. Install a different color PVC tape marker on Cable 1 to dimension 'B'. Lubricate both cable entrances of the splice housing. Clean and lubricate Cable 1 insulation, non-metallic screen, and PVC taped portion. Store the housing onto Cable 1 up to the jacket, ensuring the metallic screen is covered with PVC tape to prevent housing damage.
- Remove Cable Insulation and Install Connector
Remove cable insulation from both cables without nicking. Wire brush exposed conductors. Insert conductors into the conductor splice, ensuring they are fully seated. Crimp the conductor splice according to the provided chart. Remove any sharp protrusions or burrs and clean the area. Wipe off excess inhibitor.
- Clean and Lubricate Core Surfaces
Clean the conductor, connector, and Cable 2 insulation surfaces with cleaning solvent and a clean cloth, wiping towards the screen end. Lubricate cable insulation surfaces using the supplied lubricant, wiping towards the screen end to create a ramp.
- Install the Joint Housing
Slide the joint housing over the crimp connector into its final position. Ensure the distance 'X' between the joint housing and the PVC tape marker is equal on each side. Remove PVC tape to expose 25mm of copper tape.
- Restore Screen and Outer Jacket
Wrap flat copper braid around each joint housing, overlapping onto the metallic tape screen by 20mm on each side. Attach the braid ends to the metallic tape screen by soldering or using a constant force spring. Lightly sand the outer surface of the jacket on both cables for 130mm and heat for 15 seconds. 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 from the center outwards.
