The 3M product (scotchcast) is great. Its a 2 component PU resin. Set times are between 15 minutes and a hour. Epoxy and EPDM can also be used. I normally use it with shrink tube: shrink one end first, fill it with resin, and shrink the other side. This work fine, even kilometers under water. And use crimp connection where you can. soldering is not recommended.
About IP classification, if you are not planning on using your connection, permanently under water, ill recommend IP66 instead, it is almost as watertight but are much tougher and protective against tare and ware.
, thanks for the video, I cut thru a gardening client’s outdoor lighting wire while digging up some perennials, do I need to turn off any fuse or electrical source to the lights before making the repair? 🌺
Those bigger ones for cable then would be good for Teck90 running 300V underground then eh? I googled and your video popped up so the algo must be right hahha
They should redirect to your local Amazon, no matter where I grab the link from. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work very well on Amazon's side of things. You may need to search your local amazon for something similar. Yeah, I know... AI my foot! It's more like Artificial Stupidity. ;)
Yeah, you can do what Mr Panda said. You might lose a BIT of signal integrity (speed) depending on how you do it, but it'll work. Or you can use one of these: amzn.to/2VZzedL IP67 waterproof RJ-45 coupler. I didn't even know those existed!
Wow! What a hack job. Under 20 bucks will buy you a proper heat shrink direct burial UF splice kit. Works on 14/2 to 8/3 UF cable. Cobbling together some splice reducers, tape silicone and a shopping bag is surely UL listed. NOT!
Yeah, the selection isn't really standardized across the world... But you should be able to find similar products even at a local electrical supply store. I even found better ones at a local store that online sites like Amazon don't have in stock.
You just saved me $500 on a grow light repair, thank you so frickin much!!

This probably will save my brothers life, thank you 😊
Would be great to know the names of the hardware...? ‘This guy’ when referring to the piece of equipment doesn’t really help?
Oh cool...that last one, the T is like an underground junction box lol Thanks man!

Fried Mule is it any good for it’s cousin, wear and tear?

I reckon, tho the Teck90 armored cable looks like it would be stronger than the splice!
Why are your amazon links are in a deferent lauge

@@ScottiesTech All your links are going to France for me as well. Non english. I wouldn't use those jump to link anymore.
Thank you
is there one for cat5 cable ?
Hmm, I dunno... I've never seen one anywhere.
Ok thanks for getting back to me
Don G use a smaller waterproof butt splice like the one shown in the video, but smaller

I didnt think cat 5 was sliceable
The cheaper alternative to the resin type of connector are waterproof BUT NOT SUBMERSABLE!!!
