AKR (red), AKB and AKF (black) heat shrink breakout boots are mainly intended for sealing the place where cables exit from the mechanical sheath (plastic or metal pipes) mounted on a medium voltage overhead line pole. The breakout shrunk on the cables protects against the penetration of: water, dust, insects and other impurities into the casing pipe. Breakout boots are designed for low and medium voltage cables. Long-term and reliable operation of breakout boots is ensured by resistance to UV radiation, aggressive chemical agents and creeping currents. Made of high-quality cross-linked polymer, thanks to which they are resistant to creeping currents and erosion (anti-tracking). They have excellent insulating and sealing properties.
