Overview
VIKCHEM is one of the leading manufacturers, exporters and suppliers of cable jointing kits in India. Our heat shrinkable cable joint kits enable seamless connections between cable sections while maintaining electrical integrity and full environmental protection.
Modern heat shrink jointing technology represents the industry standard for medium voltage cable jointing, replacing traditional resin and tape joint methods. VIKCHEM's joints are rigorously tested per IS/IEC standards and are suitable for diverse environmental conditions including trenches requiring immediate backfilling.
Joint Kit Types
Straight Through Joint Kit (XLPE to XLPE)
Joins two XLPE cables of the same type and voltage rating. Provides a continuous electrical path with minimal resistance while restoring cable mechanical strength and environmental protection. Available up to 36kV.
Straight Through Joint Kit (PILC to PILC)
Designed for jointing paper insulated lead covered cables where network upgrades require extending or repairing existing PILC infrastructure. Ensures long-term reliability in existing cable networks.
Transition Joint Kit (XLPE to PILC)
Essential for connecting modern XLPE cables to existing PILC networks during grid modernisation projects. Maintains electrical continuity while accommodating different insulation systems across voltage levels.
Low Voltage Heat Shrink Joint Kit
Designed for 1.1kV applications covering LV distribution networks, service connections and industrial wiring. Provides reliable jointing for underground LV cables with superior moisture protection.
Key Benefits
Superior Electrical Performance
Pre-stressed insulation systems minimise partial discharge activity.
Fast Installation
60–90 minutes versus 3–4 hours for traditional resin joints.
Hermetic Moisture Sealing
Prevents water ingress even in submerged or flood-prone trenches.
Compact Design
Smaller dimensions allow installation in restricted spaces.
Factory Controlled Quality
Consistent manufacturing ensures every joint performs identically.
Immediate Backfill
No curing time required — trench can be backfilled immediately after jointing.
