Overview

Shorten installation time. Conduct pre-installation. Our compact, reliable and safe Raychem RSTF Separable Connectors help save time and costs.

Our Raychem RSTF Separable Connectors portfolio is designed to meet the technical and economic challenges of offshore wind farms, offshore substations and the next generation of solar farms.

They are compatible with the switchgear and transformers for interface bushing F including SIEMENS ENERGY Blue GIS with Clean Air and fit easily in the limited space of the latest compact switchgear.

Our design is easy to push on, requiring only one installer and reducing installation time. This enables you to quickly connect and disconnect tower, sea and array cables. To save time and reduce costs, Raychem RSTF connectors can be pre-installed and the cables can be pre-tested, before going offshore.

Designed to deliver high reliability even in harsh environments, our Raychem RSTF connectors are maintenance-free, withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosion and high vibration.

To ensure high performance, we can test your selected cable and the screen connections with our solution in our labs and organize installation training. Because every project is different, we can help you create a customized solution together with our dedicated engineering consultancy team.

Benefit from more flexibility and connection possibilities, thanks to our large range of separable connectors for cross-sections from 70 mm² to 1200 mm². We also provide a wide range of accessories to perform inline connections, fix to a rail or structure, provide dead end facility and test your cable system.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Question

Question: Does TE offer screened separable connectors for cables up to 1200 mm²?

Answer: Yes, our Raychem RSTF screened separable connectors cover large cables cross-sections from 70 mm² to 1200 mm² for both copper or aluminum conductors.

Question: Are TE´s screened separable connectors suitable for copper Class 5 flexible cables?

Answer: Yes, our Raychem RSTF screened separable connector kits include shear bolt lugs compatible with flexible copper cables.

Question: Does TE offer test accessories for Raychem RSTF Separable Connectors?

Answer: Yes, we offer accessories for the connection, fixing, insulation and testing of our Raychem RSTF Connectors.

Question: Are the Raychem RSTF screened separable connectors suitable for offshore environments?

Question: What makes Raychem RSTF installer friendly and time saving?

Answer: No extra tooling is necessary to install Raychem RSTF Connectors. The mechanical connector relies on the proven shear bolt technology which can be installed without a special tool such as compression tool for hexagonal crimp or push on tool for wedge connectors.

Question: Can different cables be jointed?

Answer: Yes. By using a Raychem RSTF T-base connector and a coupling connector, cables with different cross sections, constructions, and conductor materials can be jointed.

Question: What are the application differences in between outer cone systems and inner cone systems?

Answer: Both systems are suitable and offer different advantages that depend on your application requirements. We offer both outer cone and inner cone systems to ensure we can provide you with the right solution for your project.

Our Raychem RSTF outer cone connectors provide multiple connection possibilities for more cabling and design flexibility. The RSTF portfolio allows you to install branch off cables at the same place thanks to coupling connectors, to protect your equipment with surge arresters and to fix, insulate and test your system with a wide range of accessories.
