Who owns Raychem, and what is the relationship to TE Connectivity?
Raychem is a brand of TE Connectivity. Raychem Corporation was founded in 1957 in Menlo Park, California, and invented heat-shrinkable tubing. It was acquired by Tyco International in 1999, and the Tyco Electronics business spun off as TE Connectivity in 2007 — which markets the Raychem power cable accessories portfolio today.
What Raychem medium-voltage products does Hawk source?
Hawk sources Raychem heat-shrink and cold-shrink medium-voltage cable terminations to IEEE 48, in-line and transition cable joints and splices to IEEE 404, separable connectors and elbows to IEEE 386, and the heat-shrink tubing used to insulate and seal cable connections. Send the cable type, voltage class, and conductor size for a quote.
Are Raychem heat-shrink terminations IEEE 48 compliant?
Yes. Raychem HVT and IXSU-F / OXSU-F heat-shrink terminations for shielded cable are qualified as IEEE 48 Class 1 terminations. They use a non-tracking insulating tube with a co-extruded ZnO ceramic stress-control layer for polymeric cable. Exact ratings and the applicable class are confirmed per quote.
What cable types do Raychem joints cover?
Raychem heat-shrink medium-voltage cable joints cover polymeric (XLPE / EPR) cable up to 36 kV and provide transition joints to paper-insulated lead-covered (PILC) cable using an oil-barrier tubing. The HVS in-line joint meets IEEE 404 for copper-tape, wire-shield, lead-sheath, and UniShield cables.
What standards do Raychem MV cable accessories meet?
Raychem terminations are qualified to IEEE 48, cable joints and splices to IEEE 404, and separable connectors to IEEE 386, with products also tested to IEC 60502-4 and CENELEC HD 629. Exact ratings and standards are confirmed per quote.

Raychem medium-voltage cable terminations, joints, and tubing.
Raychem is the heritage power cable accessories brand of TE Connectivity. Founded in 1957 in Menlo Park, California, Raychem invented heat-shrinkable tubing and built it into a full medium- and high-voltage cable-accessories line. Its medium-voltage portfolio includes heat-shrink and cold-shrink terminations for shielded cable qualified to IEEE 48 Class 1 — the HVT and IXSU-F / OXSU-F families with co-extruded ZnO stress control — in-line and transition cable joints and splices to IEEE 404 for polymeric cable up to 36 kV and paper-insulated cable, separable connectors to IEEE 386, and the heat-shrinkable tubing used to insulate and seal connections.
Raychem was acquired by Tyco International in 1999 and carried into TE Connectivity when the Tyco Electronics business spun off in 2007. TE markets the Raychem portfolio today across IEC, CENELEC, and IEEE power grids. Hawk sources Raychem terminations, cable joints and splices, and protective tubing — for utility, industrial, data-center, renewable, commercial, and construction projects. See the TE Connectivity manufacturer page for the full Energy cable-accessories line.
