Container for an electric or optical conductor

摘要

The present invention relates to a container for an electrical or optical conductor, the use of a gas-permeable, heat-resistant and preferably mechanically flexible or resilient casing and a construction kit for producing a cable connection or a cable joint. The container comprises an insulation (102) which is produced from an insulator which is filled with flame-retardant means and which can be fitted to the conductor (100) so as to at least partially surround it. There is further provided an outer casing (104) which is produced from a gas-permeable, heat-resistant material and which surrounds the insulation (102) in such a manner that the function of the insulation is maintained for a specific period of time in the event of a fire. The invention further relates to an associated construction kit for producing a cable connection or a cable joint.
