PCT No. PCT/EP85/00500 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 15, 1986 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 15, 1986 PCT Filed Sep. 26, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO86/02210 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 10, 1986.A joint structure for interconnecting a pair of electrical cables each having a conductor surrounded by insulation which is surrounded by a layer of semi-conductive material. The mechanically interconnected conductor ends are surrounded by a two-part metal adaptor which has annular ribs at its ends which fit into annular grooves in the insulation of the cables. The adaptor is covered throughout its length with an electrical field modifier which is embedded in insulation covered by a layer of semi-conductive material which interconnects the semi-conductive layers of the cables.
