The housing offers superior cablesealing and voltage withstand characteristics.Elastimold terminations meet or exceed allrequirements of IEEE 48 for Class 1 outdoor orClass 2 indoor terminations. Unit tests includevoltage withstand wet and dry, before and afterload cycling on units installed on maximumconductor sized cable.Kit contentsEvery R2T and R2IT comes complete with housingand stress tube preassembled on the core, readyfor installation. Easy-to-read installationinstructions will take you from cable preparationthrough installation. All kits include a tube ofsilicone grease, two plastic gloves and two stripsof self-fusing silicone tape. Outdoor kits alsoinclude mastic for sealing. Metallic tape (M) kitsinclude a grounding adapter for tape shield, wireshield and unishield cables. LC shield (L) kitsinclude a high ampacity grounding adapter forlongitudinally corrugated shield, tape shield andwire over tape shield cables.

A61EL A STIMOLD UNDERGROUND C ABLE ACCESSORIES—Distribution shrink-fit terminationsRanger2 terminations—Stress relief—CertifiedThe R2T and R2IT terminations provide electricstress control for the cable by means of a flexibletube with a high permittivity dielectric constant.Elastimold Ranger2 terminations have beendesigned and tested per applicable portionsof ANSI, IEEE, AEIC, ICEA and other industrystandards.The stress-relief tube is preassembled on the coreunder the polymer housing. As the core is removed,the stress-relief tube and housing shrink onto thecable at the same time, in exactly the rightposition. No secondary operations are requiredduring installation. The electrical fields arerefracted through the high dielectric constanttube and housing as shown.IEEE 48Standard for indoor and outdoor cableterminations.ANSI C119.4Standard for cable connectors for aluminumand copper conductors.AEIC CS8-06 and ANSI/ICEA S-94-649-2004and S-97-682-2000Standards for XLP and EPR insulated cables.—InstallationStandard cable preparation techniques are usedfor all R2T Elastimold Ranger2 outdoorterminations and R2IT Elastimold Ranger2 indoorterminations. The Elastimold shrink-fitterminations are assembled on a removable core.After the termination is placed onto the preparedcable, the core is removed by pulling on the end.The housing then collapses onto the preparedcable. Memory of the material provides theinterface solid dielectric and sealing propertiesrequired to meet the electrical ratings and preventthe ingress of moisture.STRESS RELIEFSTRESS RELIEF—Voltage stressConductorConnectorSiliconetape sealTerminal housingTerminal stress reliefCable insulationConductorCable semiconductorCableinsulationGray moldedsiliconeinsulatorBuilt-in cableentrance sealCableshieldHi-k resCablejacket

A63EL A STIMOLD UNDERGROUND C ABLE ACCESSORIES—Distribution shrink-fit terminationsRanger2 terminationsThe R2T and R2IT termination design couplesshrink-fit technology and Elastimold’s pull-downjacket seal feature to provide a termination linethat covers the widest range of applications withthe fewest number of models. Three sizes cover0.64" (16 mm) to 2.10" (53 mm) insulation diametercables (#2 AWG through 1,250 kcmil).The R2T housings are designed for maximumperformance in all field conditions with superiorcreepage and strike distances for long-termservice. Insulating silicone sleeves are also availablewhen more creepage is required or when wildlifeprotection is needed to insulate the connectors.Contact your ABB sales representativefor further information.—Ranger2 terminations base catalog numbersCat. no.Cable range(insulation diameter)kV class151525/2835TypeConcentricneutral andjacketedconcentricneutral cableLC shield,Tape shield, wire over tapewire shield and shield and tapeunishield cableshield cableInchesmmIndoor 0.64 to 1.1216.3 to 28.4R2IT15J1R2IT15M1R2IT15L10.84 to 1.3821.3 to 35.1R2IT15J2R2IT15M2R2IT15L21.30 to 2.1033.0 to 53.3R2IT15J4R2IT15M4R2IT15L4Outdoor 0.64 to 1.1216.3 to 28.4R2T15J1R2T15M1R2T15L10.84 to 1.3821.3 to 35.1R2T15J2R2T15M2R2T15L21.30 to 2.1033.0 to 53.3R2T15J4R2T15M4R2T15L4Outdoor 0.84 to 1.3820.3 to 35.1R2T28J2R2T28M2R2T28L21.30 to 2.1033.0 to 53.3R2T28J4R2T28M4R2T28L4Outdoor 0.84 to 1.3820.03 to 35.1R2T35J2R2T35M2R2T35L21.30 to 2.1033.0 to 53.3R2T35J4R2T35M4R2T35L4
