Shorten installation time. Conduct pre-installation. Our compact, reliable and safe Raychem RSTF Separable Connectors help save time and costs.
Our Raychem RSTF Separable Connectors portfolio is designed to meet the technical and economic challenges of offshore wind farms, offshore substations and the next generation of solar farms.
They are compatible with the switchgear and transformers for interface bushing F, including SIEMENS ENERGY Blue GIS with Clean Air and fit easily in the limited space of the latest compact switchgear.
Our design is easy to push on, requiring only one installer and reducing installation time. This enables you to quickly connect and disconnect tower, sea, and array cables. To save time and reduce costs, Raychem RSTF connectors can be pre-installed, and the cables can be pre-tested before going offshore.
Designed to deliver high reliability even in harsh environments, our Raychem RSTF connectors are maintenance-free, withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosion, and high vibration.
To help ensure high performance, we can test your selected cable and the screen connections with our solution in our labs and organize installation training. Because every project is different, we can help you create a customized solution together with our dedicated engineering consultancy team.
Benefit from more flexibility and connection possibilities, thanks to our large range of separable connectors for cross-sections from 70 mm² to 1200 mm². We also provide a wide range of accessories to perform inline connections, fix to a rail or structure, provide a dead-end facility, and test your cable system.
Our Raychem RSTF Connectors are designed to enable high performance, reliability and efficiency for offshore wind farms, offshore substations and the next generation of solar farms. Discover how.

Frequently Asked Question
Question: Does TE offer screened separable connectors for cables up to 1200 mm²?
Answer: Yes, our Raychem RSTF screened separable connectors cover large cable cross-sections from 70 mm² to 1200 mm² for both copper and aluminum conductors.
Question: Are TE´s screened separable connectors suitable for copper Class 5 flexible cables?
Answer: Yes, our Raychem RSTF screened separable connector kits include shear bolt lugs compatible with flexible copper cables.
Question: Does TE offer test accessories for Raychem RSTF Separable Connectors?
Answer: Yes, we offer accessories for the connection, fixing, insulation, and testing of our Raychem RSTF Connectors.
Question: Are the Raychem RSTF screened separable connectors suitable for offshore environments?
Answer: Yes, our RSTF connectors can be used in both onshore and offshore wind farm environments. They are made of modified silicone rubber, which help ensure high performance even under broad temperature changes, high humidity, and salinity.
Question: What makes the Raychem RSTF installer friendly and time-saving?
Answer: No extra tooling is necessary to install Raychem RSTF Connectors. The mechanical connector relies on the proven shear bolt technology, which can be installed without a special tool, such as a compression tool for hexagonal crimp or a push-on tool for wedge connectors.
Question: Can different cables be joined?
Answer: Yes. By using a Raychem RSTF T-base connector and a coupling connector, cables with different cross sections, constructions, and conductor materials can be joined.
Question: What are the application differences between outer cone systems and inner cone systems?
Answer: Both systems are suitable and offer different advantages that depend on your application requirements. We offer both outer cone and inner cone systems to support, so we can provide you with the right solution for your project.
Our Raychem RSTF outer cone connectors provide multiple connection possibilities for more cabling and design flexibility. The RSTF portfolio allows you to install branch-off cables at the same place thanks to coupling connectors, to protect your equipment with surge arresters, and to fix, insulate, and test your system with a wide range of accessories.
