<p>A cable joint for joining the ends of two optical fibre cables, each having a core of optical fibres (12) and a king wire (14) surrounded by armour wire (17) and an outer sheath (18), comprises an insert (20) between the core and the armour wire of each cable and a protective sleeve (38) swaged directly to the armour wire braced by the insert. The directly engaged sleeve provides a simple, efficient joint. An over-moulded cover (40) seals the joint.</p> |
