 Repair & Rejacketing

GMRS
Gray Mastic Rejacketing Sleeve
Raychem GMRS rejacketing sleeves quickly and conveniently seal and protect medium voltage
cable splices up to 35 kV. GMRS rejacketing sleeves can also be used to repair cables with jacket
damage. The robust, yet compact design is engineered to handle the harsh environments of
manhole, direct buried or weather exposed applications.

• GMRS provides a watertight seal cover that can be used over all types and brands of push-on
and cold-applied splices.
C_GMRS_cr • GMRS design reduces installation space because it is not required to position a tube to the side
while installing the splice. The result is easier installation in cramped manholes and less digging
for direct buried applications.
• Installation is literally a snap. Installers will appreciate the simple wraparound design and
dependable mastic sealing performance. To install, use the supplied pre-latch clips and
installation snap tool – simply wrap and snap the sleeve on any cable in the use range.

equals or exceeds the material properties of the original cable jacket. CRSM sleeves fit a wide range
of cable sizes and have unlimited shelf life.

• Qualified to ANSI C119.1

• Rated to ICEA electrical withstand test for 1000 volts
C_CRSM_cr • RUS accepted for use as jacket restoration materials on JCN cable
• For use on standard poly- or elastomeric-insulated/jacketed cables or lead-jacketed cables, which
may include aluminum or steel armoring.

Use as insulation for 1/C low-voltage power cable up to 1000 volts, and for jacket repair up to 35 kV
or for general sealing applications. All CRSM sleeves are sealant-coated.

for general rejacketing or sealing applications (when CRSM is
not in direct contact with the conductor).
4.  Package does not contain connectors.
5.  Kits include a wraparound sleeve and stainless steel channel
closure. Both can be field-cut for shorter requirements.

MRS Repair Sleeve

Heat-Shrink Wraparound Flame-Retardant Sleeve (2 kV)

TE Connectivity’s Raychem wraparound mining repair sleeve provides an efficient method of repairing
insulation on flexible cables to 2 kV and repairing jacket damage on high-voltage cable where a splice is
not required.

The specially formulated, flame-retardant, flexible wraparound sleeve installs with a low profile quickly
and easily, which means the cable can be returned to service in minutes.

C_MRS_RS_cr The sleeve is ideal for use on trailing cable as well as flexible-construction cables and conduits.
