METHOD FOR PROTECTING JOINTS FOR ELECTRICAL CABLES, PROTECTIVE COATING FOR SAID JOINTS AND JOINTS THUS PROTECTED

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for mechanically protecting a connection between at least two components forming part of an electrical and/or telecommunications network. This method comprises the step of providing at least one protective coating (51), said coating (51) being produced from an expanded polymeric material and providing said connection with a mechanical impact strength and ensuring a predetermined heat exchange between said connection and the extenal environment. This coating (51) is axially and circumferentially continous with respect to said connection. The present invention also relates to a coating for the mechanical protection of a connection between two components and to a joint thus protected.
