Silicone Angle Boot
Moulded silicone boot for angled cable termination positions
Product Overview
An angle boot seals a termination where the cable turns as it enters the equipment. The geometry matters: a straight boot forced onto an angled termination leaves an uneven seal at the bend, and the uneven part is exactly where water finds its way in.
Key Benefits
- Seals terminations where the cable enters at an angle
- Moulded profile keeps the seal even through the bend
- Silicone stays elastic and hydrophobic over the service life
- Ordered as part of a complete termination accessory set
Problems It Solves
- Uneven sealing where a straight boot is forced around a bend
- Water ingress at the angle of a termination
- Accessories that split when stretched around a tight entry
Application Scenarios
- Angled cable entries into switchgear and transformers
- Pole mounted equipment terminations where the cable turns
- Confined termination positions requiring a change of direction
- Resealing angled terminations that have failed
Who It Is For
- Cable jointers
- Utility termination crews
- Switchgear installation contractors
- Maintenance teams resealing failed terminations
Technical Features
- Moulded silicone angle profile
- Even seal geometry through the bend
- Elastic fit over cable and termination
- Sized against cable diameter over insulation

Compared With Other Options
| Straight boot | Use the straight boot for in-line terminations and the angle boot where the cable turns. Forcing the wrong one around a bend is what causes the leak. |
|---|---|
| Heat shrink sleeving | Heat shrink needs heat at the termination position and a skilled application. A moulded boot fits cold and repeats the same geometry every time. |
Use Guide
- Confirm the entry angle and the cable diameter before selecting
- Clean the cable surface before fitting
- Work the boot on without twisting or over-stretching
- Check the seal is even all the way around the bend

What angle does the boot suit
Send the termination arrangement and the entry angle with the enquiry so the right profile is confirmed.
Can I use a straight boot on an angled entry
It is the usual cause of an uneven seal at the bend, which is where water then gets in.
Are boots supplied as termination sets
Yes. Boots skirts and finger cots are normally quoted together as a complete termination accessory set.
