The CADWELD XB molds are the quickest, most efficient way to make lapped, horizontal x-style connections on solid or concentric stranded cable for a variety of installations. For cable-to-cable X-style connections at power substations and other commercial and industrial sites, there’s never been a faster or easier way to make a reliable CADWELD connection. This two-piece mold lets you make connections in a trench in about half the time it would take with compression connectors or other exothermic products - and at a fraction of the cost.
  • Ergonomic two-piece molds use standard L160 and L159 handle clamps...the same clamps you use with other CADWELD molds.
  • Saves labor costs. X-style connection can be made by one person in about 1 minute. That’s 40 to 70% faster than other methods.
  • Costs less. Saves you 1/3 over other models, thanks to innovative design techniques and advanced manufacturing technology.
  • Simple to use. Operates just like an XA-style mold, but there’s no need to cut the cable!
  • Easy cable alignment.
  • Also available in “smokeless" EXOLON.
