FYI, I was going to get the sleeves, but they were special order and
required a special crimping tool. This project was in Mexico, so I
pulled the cable out and inspected it after it was torqued. I found
excellent compression, and no tearing of the strands. In my opinion,

Hi ray
As an FYI. Most of the lugs we all use are not "rated" for fine stranded wire.
Quick cable is the only one I'm aware of that if you use their tool and ends
