The Shield-Kon

two-piece shield termination system from Thomas &
Betts consists of two sleeves: an inner sleeve with a smaller diameter,
and an outer sleeve that has a larger diameter but is shorter and less
hard than the inner sleeve. All inner and outer sleeves are color coded
according to their size.
The conductors of the cable are inserted through the inner sleeve,
whereas the shield (braided or foiled) and the ground wire are inserted
between the two sleeves. The crimp operation is done by compressing
the outer sleeve with a tool, while the inner sleeve provides mechanical
protection for the inner conductors.
This unique shield termination system can be used with cables having a
diameter of dielectric (after removing the outer insulation and the shield)
between .043" and 2.87".
In the “Hexagonal Range” (diameters of dielectric between .043"
and .38"), the outer sleeve is crimped with a hand tool and the result
is a hexagonal-shaped crimp. This range is used to crimp shielded
and coaxial cables.
The “Circular Range” for Multiple or Overall shielded cables refers
to larger diameters of dielectric (between .39" and 2.87") and owes
its name to the circular shape of the crimp.
Unique shield termination system
gets the job done right!
Circular Range
The Thomas & Betts hexagonal compression (for diameters
of dielectric up to .37") is a reliable method for grounding,
terminating and insulating shielded and coaxial cable.
It has literally millions of installations in communications,
aerospace, electronic, telephone, radio and TV applications.
