A rigid joint assembly comprising a first cable core end section (12) of a first electric cable (10), and a second cable core end section (1 12) of a second electric cable (1 10). The respective first and second cable core end section comprises an electrical cable core comprising at least an inner electric conductor (14), and an insulation system comprising at least an inner semi-conducting layer (15), an insulation layer (16) and an outer semi-conducting layer (17). The rigid joint assembly further comprises a joint connection (20) inside which the electrical cable cores of the respective cable core end sections are jointed. The rigid joint assembly further comprising a water tight metal casing (30) surrounding the joint connection, which casing has a first cable entry part (32) comprising an opening (34) for receiving the first cable core end section and a second cable entry part (132) comprising an opening (134) for receiving the second cable core end section. The assembly further comprises a first load distributing member (40) that surrounds the first cable core end section (12) at the first cable entry part (32), and a second load distributing member (140) that surrounds the second cable core end section (1 12) at the second cable entry part (132). The respective load distributing member comprises a hollow member having an essentially conical external shape and a cylindrical internal surface that is in contact with an external surface of the cable core end section which it surrounds. |
