Easy Installation
The 3M Cold Shrink EC-Series End Caps install quickly and
cleanly without flame or grease. Cold Shrink end caps are
factory expanded on removable inner-supporting plastic
cores. Once the end cap is positioned for installation around
the end of a cable, the supporting core is unwound and
removed. With the core removed, the live-memory action of
the specially formulated material shrinks the end cap into
position. The constant radial pressure of the Cold Shrink
material ensures a durable environmental seal.

The Cold Shrink material resists abrasion, fungus, acids
and alkalis, and retains its resiliency for years. Freezing or
overheating due to ambient temperatures encountered during
shipping or storage does not impair the end caps.

Easy Removal
Once installed, the 3M Cold Shrink End Caps can be
easily removed from the cable. Simply lift the edge of the
end cap, slice the material with a utility knife and the end
cap comes off cleanly, leaving no adhesive residue or grease.

Versatility and Value
Regardless of the cable type or manufacturer, it takes only
four different end-caps to fit cable size ranges from 0.46" to
3.32" (11,6 - 84,3 mm), reducing the need for additional
inventory to cover all cable sizes.
