3M 2220-3/4X5FT Stress Control Tape 3/4 in X 5 Ft

Product Description

The 3M 2220-3/4X5FT is a stress control tape designed for use in high-voltage cable splicing and termination applications. Stress control tapes are applied at the cut edge of cable insulation shielding to redistribute electrical stress concentrations that would otherwise form at the shield cutback point. Without proper stress control, those concentration points can cause insulation breakdown over time. The 2220-3/4X5FT roll measures 3/4 inch wide and 5 feet long, making it suited for single-splice or termination work where a short, pre-measured length is practical. Electricians and cable splicers working on medium-voltage systems rely on this tape as a standard step in proper cable termination procedure.

This tape is used in medium-voltage cable splices and terminations on shielded power cable systems, typically found in commercial and industrial electrical installations. It is applied during the construction of hand-taped splices and terminations as part of a layered insulation and shielding rebuild. The compact 5-foot length is well suited for individual terminations rather than high-volume production work, and the 3/4-inch width fits standard cable geometries encountered in the field.

Key Features

• Stress relief tape designed to manage electrical stress at shield cutback points on medium-voltage cable
• 3/4-inch width accommodates standard shielded cable termination geometry
• 5-foot roll length provides a pre-measured quantity for single-splice or termination applications
• Intended for use in hand-taped high-voltage splice and termination assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for medium-voltage shielded power cable splicing and termination assemblies where stress control tape is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation of medium-voltage stress control tape is performed by qualified electricians or certified cable splicers following applicable NEC requirements and cable manufacturer splice kit instructions. De-energize, isolate, and verify the cable is at zero energy state before beginning any splice or termination work. Apply the tape in half-lapped layers at the shield cutback point as directed by the applicable splice procedure. Do not substitute stress control tape with general-purpose electrical tape, as material properties are not interchangeable.
