Inline Splicing Kits 72-N Series is a series
of rigid body splices tailored for joining signal and control
cables. The kits are designed to accommodate shielded or
unshielded constructions of plastic or rubber-jacketed cables.
Six kit sizes cover a range of cables up to 100-pair (200
conductors) 10 AWG or 200-pair (400 conductors) 22 AWG.
The 72-N series splice consists of a rigid-body mold filled
with pliable polyurethane 3M Scotchcast Electrical Insulating
and Sealing Compound 2104.
Jumper wires with clips provide for shield continuity on
shielded cables. Built-in spacer webbing automatically
provides for cable centering and proper compound coverage.
The kits are sized for, but do not include, 3M

Insulated Butt Connectors. The completed splice is designed
and tested for direct burial.
