A device for maintaining physical separation between electrical conductors of a cable passing through a connector and for facilitating encapsulation of the conductors in a connector body. The device comprises an insulating platform having a configuration for engaging the connector body, the platform having (1) at least one passageway for passage of a conductor; (2) at least one aperture through which an encapsulant can be dispensed; and (3) at least one opening for allowing air to be voided during an encapsulation process; the platform forming with the connector body a hollow chamber through which at least one conductor passes and into which encapsulant can be dispensed through the aperture. The device further comprises a spline that extends from the platform for locating the device within the connector body; the spline comprising a step portion for resting on the cable and for defining a predetermined separation distance between the cable and the platform.
