What is the difference between 3M Cold Shrink and heat-shrink accessories?
Cold Shrink accessories are factory pre-expanded over a removable core and recover onto the prepared cable without a flame when the core is withdrawn.
Heat-shrink accessories use a torch to recover tubing onto the cable. 3M's QT-III terminations and QS-III splices are cold-shrink designs, simplifying installation in tight or hazardous locations.
What voltage classes do 3M Cold Shrink terminations and splices cover?
3M Cold Shrink QT-III terminations are offered for solid-dielectric shielded cable rated 5 through 35 kV.
Cold Shrink QS-III inline splices are offered in 15, 25, and 35 kV classes. Exact ratings are confirmed per quote.
What standards does 3M medium-voltage cable accessory equipment meet?
3M Cold Shrink QT-III terminations are qualified to IEEE 48 — most as Class 1 for indoor and weather-protected service.
3M Cold Shrink QS-III splices joint solid-dielectric shielded cable to IEEE 404. Exact ratings and standards are confirmed per quote.

3M medium-voltage cable accessories — cold-shrink terminations, splices, and connection products.
3M is an independent, publicly traded manufacturer (NYSE: MMM). Its Electrical Markets business produces medium-voltage cable accessories built on 3M Cold Shrink silicone-rubber technology. 3M Cold Shrink QT-III terminations are qualified to IEEE 48 — most as Class 1 — for terminating solid-dielectric shielded cable rated 5 through 35 kV with tape-shield, wire-shield, and UniShield constructions. 3M Cold Shrink QS-III inline splices joint shielded cable to IEEE 404 at 15, 25, and 35 kV, and 3M 5300 Series kits splice motor leads. Both families recover onto the prepared cable without a flame, simplifying installation in tight or hazardous locations.
Beyond cold-shrink accessories, 3M supplies Scotchlok connectors, Scotch vinyl and rubber splicing tapes, Scotch 77 and 77W fire and electric arc-proofing tape, Fire and Water Barrier firestop, and ScotchCode wire marking — the consumables that complete a medium-voltage termination or splice. Hawk sources 3M cable accessories, connectors, tapes, fire protection, and marking for utility, industrial, data-center, commercial, and construction projects.
