The connecting sleeves (cable connections) allow to mutually connect several (maximum 4) cables. Cable connections can occur at all voltage levels.
Terminations, which ensure the transition between cable and conductor(s), are represented in a separate asset group (Pothead). The terminations in plants are included in the asset group CableTermination.
At network level 7, connection sleeves and branch joints are widely used. No distinction is made whether the main cable is divided at a branch. This results in the following possibilities for connecting cables with sleeves:
•Main cable not divided and the sleeve placed on a vertex point. Connection cable e.g. for house connection connected with sleeve.
•All cables end or start on the sleeve.
This also results in the possibility to determine the sleeve type directly and to use it for the representation. This means that the distinction between a branch and a connecting sleeve can be made via a symbol (filled in, only outlined), and labeling can be dispensed.

The use of sleeves also serves to form different transitions (year of construction, material or cross-section).
