This ring comprises an inner ring of elastic insulating material with tapered ends and longitudinal slits alternately starting from one end and the other.

As the nut is tightened against the washer a force is applied to the compression ring through the tapered ends. The inner surface grips the cable whilst the covering fills the spaces to give the seal.</p> |
