FAQ.

What is the relationship between TE Connectivity and Raychem?

Raychem is TE Connectivity's medium- and high-voltage power cable accessories brand. Raychem Corporation was founded in 1957 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. TE markets its terminations, joints, and separable connectors under the Raychem name.

What medium-voltage cable accessories does Hawk source from TE Connectivity?

Hawk sources TE Connectivity Energy / Raychem medium-voltage cable accessories: heat-shrink and cold-shrink terminations for shielded cable to IEEE 48, in-line and transition cable joints and splices to IEEE 404, and separable connectors — RSTI screened T-connectors and ELB loadbreak elbows to IEEE 386. Send the cable type, voltage class, and conductor size for a quote.

Are TE Connectivity terminations IEEE 48 compliant?

Yes. TE's Raychem HVT and IXSU-F / OXSU-F heat-shrink terminations for shielded cable are qualified as IEEE 48 Class 1 terminations, using a non-tracking insulating surface with co-extruded ZnO stress control. Exact ratings and the applicable class are confirmed per quote.

Does TE Connectivity make separable connectors and elbows?

Yes. TE's Raychem separable connectors include RSTI screened T-connectors rated up to 42 kV / 1250 A and ELB 200 A loadbreak elbows at 15 and 25 kV, all designed to IEEE 386. The ETP elbow tap plug provides a 600 A deadbreak to 200 A loadbreak transition. They are interchangeable with industry-standard IEEE 386 interfaces.

What standards does TE Connectivity MV cable accessory equipment meet?

TE Raychem terminations are qualified to IEEE 48, cable joints and splices to IEEE 404, and separable connectors to IEEE 386. Products are also tested to IEC and CENELEC standards. Exact ratings and standards are confirmed per quote.

TE Connectivity medium-voltage cable accessories across terminations, joints, and connectors.

TE Connectivity is a global connectivity and sensor manufacturer (NYSE: TEL). Its Energy business supplies medium- and high-voltage power cable accessories under the Raychem brand — heat-shrink and cold-shrink terminations for shielded cable qualified to IEEE 48, in-line and transition cable joints and splices to IEEE 404, and separable connectors to IEEE 386, including RSTI screened T-connectors rated to 42 kV / 1250 A and ELB 200 A loadbreak elbows at 15 and 25 kV. Raychem terminations use a non-tracking insulating surface with co-extruded ZnO stress control.

Raychem is the heritage power cable accessories brand TE markets: founded in 1957 as the inventor of heat-shrinkable tubing, acquired by Tyco International in 1999, and carried into TE Connectivity when the Tyco Electronics business spun off in 2007. In 2025 TE agreed to acquire Richards Manufacturing to expand its underground distribution portfolio. Hawk sources TE Connectivity terminations, joints and splices, and separable connectors — for utility, industrial, data-center, renewable, commercial, and construction projects.
