Environmentally sealed splice kit for shielded cable and method therefor

摘要

An environmentally sealed splice kit for splicing together a shielded cable which is fully immersion protected and which is installed using only hand tool without using heat generating sources. The splice kit has a pair of crimp sleeves which are coupled to a separate wire braided end of the shielded cable. A jumper wire is coupled to each crimp sleeve for providing electrical continuity between each wire braided end of the shielded cable. A crimp ferrule is coupled to each wire braided end of the shielded cable for holding and connecting each crimp sleeve to each wire braided end of the shielded cable. Conductor splices are used for splicing together each center conductor of the shielded cable to be spliced together. A dielectric spacer is used for separating and providing an isolating medium between each center conductor to be spliced together and the jumper cable. A shield seal sleeve is placed around the shielded wire and positioned over the dielectric spacer for providing a sealing boot with shielding capabilities for the spliced shielded cable. A pair of end caps are coupled to each end of the shield seal sleeve and an adhesive sealant is placed inside each end cap for environmentally sealing the spliced shielded cable.
