1kV Five-Core Cold Shrink Termination Kit
- 0.6/1kV cold shrink termination kit for five-core XLPE and rubber-insulated power cables.
- Five conductor cross-section ranges available: 10–16, 25–50, 70–120, 150–240 and 300–400 mm².
- Five-way breakout and individual cold shrink sleeves provide insulation at the cable end where the conductors separate.
- Cold shrink components contract without applied heat, making them suitable for cable termination work where flame-free installation is preferred.
- Intended for low-voltage cable termination at electrical equipment; cable dimensions, conductor identification and terminal connections must be checked before selection.
Five Conductors at the Cable End: Breakout Protection and Termination Fit
At the end of a five-core power cable, the outer sheath stops while five insulated conductors continue toward their individual terminals. That transition is the part of the installation addressed by this cold shrink termination kit.
The RIKI 0.6/1kV range combines a five-way breakout arrangement with separate insulating sleeves for the individual cable cores. It is intended for XLPE- and rubber-insulated low-voltage power cables, with conductor cross-section selections extending from 10–16 mm² to 300–400 mm². The cable end can be prepared without applying heat to shrink the insulating components.
Five cores do not necessarily mean five conductors of the same size. A project may specify three phase conductors, a neutral and a protective conductor, while another cable design may use a different conductor arrangement. The selected termination must accommodate the actual cable construction, including the dimensions of the breakout area and the individual insulated cores.
Conductor identification deserves separate attention. The product image shows colored sleeves, but the final identification method must follow the destination project’s wiring convention. Colors alone should not be used to determine conductor functions without checking the cable schedule.
For procurement, the conductor cross-section determines the starting size selection. Cable insulation type, sheath diameter, terminal lug dimensions and the intended installation location are additional checks. The termination sleeves provide insulation around the prepared cable end; they do not replace the electrical connectors used to attach conductors to equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can this termination be used for a cable with three phases, neutral and protective earth?
A five-core cable with three phase conductors, neutral and protective earth is one possible configuration, but the core count alone does not establish suitability. Check the conductor sizes, individual insulation diameters and the outer sheath dimensions. Where the neutral or protective conductor has a reduced cross-section, the complete cable designation should be reviewed before choosing the kit.
Why is the cable’s overall diameter important when selecting the breakout?
The breakout must fit the section where the outer cable sheath transitions into five separate insulated conductors. Two cables with the same nominal conductor cross-section can have different sheath thicknesses, insulation dimensions or filler arrangements. Supply the cable datasheet or measured dimensions so the required recovery fit can be checked rather than selecting the breakout from conductor area alone.
Are the terminal lugs supplied as part of the termination kit?
Terminal lug inclusion is not specified in the published product range table, so it should be confirmed before placing an order. The cold shrink components insulate the prepared cable end, while the lugs make the electrical connection to equipment. Buyers should identify conductor material, cross-section, required lug type and terminal connection dimensions when requesting the complete supply configuration.
Do the colored sleeves establish which conductor is neutral or protective earth?
No. Colored components shown with a termination kit should not be treated as a substitute for the cable identification requirements of the project. Conductor color conventions can differ by market and installation system. Confirm the required identification scheme, conductor functions and marking arrangements before installation, particularly when supplying kits for multiple destination countries.
