IEEE 404-2006

This standard establishes electrical ratings and test requirements of cable joints used with extruded and laminated dielectric shielded cables rated in preferred voltage steps from 2500 V to 500 000 V. In addition, it defines test requirements for cable jacket and cable shield restoration devices. This standard also defines a variety of common joint constructions. Joints that connect more than two cables or connect cables with two different conductor sizes are not covered by this standard. However, manufacturers and users are encouraged to use appropriate parts of this standard to evaluate these joints.
