<p>This invention relates to a device for the protection of underground cables 12 housed within ducting 14. The device 10 comprises a pair of half-shells 16.1 that are interengaged to make up a hollow sleeve that is flared to receive the conduit ends 14. The cable 12 is installed within the conduit 14 and the securement device 10 is installed in the place of a conventional sleeve conduit connector. Before the body shells 16.1 are mated, the cable 12 is secured to the first body shell 16.1 by means of BAND-ITTM strapping (or U-bolts in a second embodiment of the invention). A cover plate 24 is installed over the securement device body 16. The cover plate 24 also closes off the strapping slots 19 through which the strapping is threaded to secure the cable 12 to the inside of the device body.</p> |
