ELECTRICALLY HEAT-RECOVERABLE SLEEVE FOR BRANCH CABLES

摘要

A branch-off between telecommunications cables may be sealed by jeans of an electrically heatrecoverable sleeve and a branch-off clip which holds together circumferentially spaced portions of the sleeve between the branching cables . The clip has an inner leg of heat-activatable sealing material which in use is positioned in the sleeve between the cables . The sealing material is activated by the heat generated in the sleeve during recovery.
