Heat-Shrink Cable Splitters
- Material: Polyolefin Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: See Table
- Shrink Temperature: 250° F
- Temperature Range: See Table
Also known as breakout boots, these splitters insulate and seal the point where wire splits off from cable. An adhesive lining melts when the splitter is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal.
Splitters for round cable are often used with armored cable, sheathed cable, and conduit ends.

Tapered Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: Polyolefin Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: See Table
- Dielectric Strength: 200 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 250° F
- Temperature Range: -65° to 275° F
A different shrink ratio on each end allows this tubing to fit over cable assemblies and wire harnesses with large connections, or around connectors with a 90° elbow. An adhesive lining melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal. The tubing length listed is after shrinking; the length before shrinking is 20-25% shorter.
Lipped tubing has a ridge on the inside of one opening for better retention than non-lipped tubing. It’s often used with grooved adapters—upon shrinking, the lip grips onto the groove.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.

Crossover Heat-Shrink Tubing
- Material: Polyolefin Plastic
- Shrink Ratio: 3.1:1
- Dielectric Strength: 200 V/mil
- Shrink Temperature: 250° F
- Temperature Range: -65° to 275° F
Organize and route wire and cable in an enclosure—this tubing bundles wires together while allowing them to reach different connection points. An adhesive lining melts when the tubing is heated and bonds to the underlying surface, creating a water-resistant seal. It also resists abrasion.
Dielectric strength is the maximum voltage a material can handle before it starts to breakdown.
