The word "jointing" is used in a broad sense to include not only the jointing of one cable length directly to another (or others) but also the connection of a cable to a separable connector parts (such as a plug or socket) or to terminal equipment of any kind. The method comprises the steps of making an electrical connector to at least one conductor of the cable (1) and enclosing it by moulding a body (9, 12) of rubber to enclose that connection and engage an adjacent part of the cable sheath (2) and curing that body in situ. The cable sheath (2) is made of a thermoplastic material softening at a temperature below the curing temperature of the moulding rubber and a preformed sleeve (4) of a cured rubber is applied, before the body is moulded, to surround a part of the cable (2) sheath that is to extend partly inside and partly outside the moulded body (9, 12). Thermoplastic moulding material having similar properties to those of rubber may be used. <IMAGE> |
