The GTQT3 is a GEL connection sleeve from manufacturer GT, specifically designed for connecting telephone and data cables. It is suitable for cables with a cross-section up to 20x2x0.8 mm² and enables a secure, weather-resistant, and durable connection in both outdoor and indoor environments. The sleeve is installed without special tools and is intended for use in installations within the telecommunications and data transmission sector. The connection is made via individual wire connectors, ensuring precise and reliable contact of each wire.

Applications

The GTQT3 is used in electrical and IT installations where a durable, waterproof, and dustproof cable connection is required. It is particularly suitable for outdoor installations, such as connecting telephone or data cables in the open air, where it provides protection against environmental influences such as moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations. The sleeve can also be used indoors where a robust and durable connection is necessary. Its use is appropriate, for example, for extending or repairing cables in buildings, installing telephone connections, or connecting data lines in building automation systems.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The sleeve features a GEL-filled moulded shell equipped with a double seal. This double seal ensures reliable sealing against moisture and dust, protecting the connection even under harsh environmental conditions. The moulded shell is made of impact-resistant, halogen-free polypropylene (PP), offering high mechanical strength and resistance to environmental influences. The temperature-resistant GEL inside the sleeve has an operating range from -40 °C to +140 °C and ensures long-term adhesion to metals and plastics, securing the stability of the connection over time. The individual wire connectors enable precise and secure connection of each wire, ensuring high electrical conductivity and signal quality.

Technology Explained Simply

The GEL inside the sleeve acts as a filling and sealing medium. It prevents moisture ingress and protects the connection from corrosion. The double seal enhances this protection and ensures a tight seal. The GEL adheres well to various materials, including metal and plastic surfaces, enabling a stable and durable connection. The impact-resistant PP shell provides mechanical protection and is resistant to mechanical stress. The use of individual wire connectors ensures accurate contact of each wire, which is crucial for a reliable electrical connection.

Compatibility and Accessories

The GTQT3 is designed for cables with a cross-section up to 20x2x0.8 mm². The sleeve can also be spliced with two wire connection strips for 10 DA, expanding connection possibilities. For repairing cable jacket damage, the QUICKI cable jacket repair sleeves of type GTQR 16 and GTQR 25 are recommended. For coaxial cable connections, types GTQT-K 1 to 3 are suitable. The sleeve is thus part of a comprehensive system of connection solutions for various cable types and application scenarios.

Installation and Mounting

The GTQT3 is installed without special tools. The GEL-filled moulded shell is slipped over the cables to be connected, the wires are connected using individual wire connectors, and the sleeve is closed. The grounding lead with crocodile clips enables secure grounding of the connection. The included installation instructions support the installer in correct mounting. The use of cable ties ensures proper securing of the cables and the sleeve.
