PCT No. PCT/GB92/00960 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 28, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 28, 1994 PCT Filed May 28, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/22115 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 10, 1992.An arrangement for enclosing the termination of a screened electrical cable to an electrical conductor comprises a coupling element, e.g. an adaptor (1) that is intended to engage the connector and is formed from a metal having a conductive passivate layer thereon, and a dimensionally recoverable article (2) for enclosing the termination after recovery onto the cable. The article (2) includes an electrical screen (8) and is partially recovered into engagement with the coupling element (1) so that an end of the screen (8) is in electrical contract with a portion (5) of the coupling element. The portion (5) of the coupling element has no passivate layer thereon. It has been found that the electrical resistance of the band formed between the screen (8) and the coupling element (1) is relatively constant during storage at elevated temperature.
