Overview

The ABB 69 kV Transmission Cable Joint (SKU: 69TCJN1Q231PQAVNB) is a factory-molded, non-shieldbreak cable joint designed for 69 kV class transmission systems. Engineered for solid dielectric cables with insulation diameters from 36.5 mm to 65.5 mm (1.43" to 2.58"), this joint ensures permanent, fully shielded, and fully submersible connections for direct burial or vault applications. The housing size Q features a 1.750-inch bore diameter at the jacket/insulation transition and a 1.625-inch diameter heatsink bore for optimized thermal management. The copper connector (Code 31P) accommodates conductor diameters ranging from 0.687 to 0.745 inches (17.45–18.92 mm), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cable types. The metallic screen continuity kit (Type V) includes a #2 flat braid (6-foot length) to maintain electrical continuity, while the outer jacket restoration kit (Type B) uses heat-shrink technology for reliable sealing. Factory-molded and 100% factory-tested, this joint eliminates the need for field molding, tape-wrapping, or specialized machinery, reducing installation time and training requirements. Designed for underground or aerial cable systems, it provides a low-cost, high-reliability solution for utility and industrial power distribution networks. The non-shieldbreak design simplifies installation while maintaining full shielding integrity, making it ideal for applications where shield continuity is critical.
