<p>A device (1) comprising a flexible and resilient sleeve (2) made of rubber, rubber-like, plastics or similar material and a metal end termination (3) which has a screw thread connection with an electrical component (4) in the form of a multi-pin connector or plug. The end termination (3) has an interface (5) for conductors or wires of the multi-core cable and a body (6) which has a tapered entry (7) in which is received the sleeve (2) and metal braids (8) which screen the cable (9). There is a seal in the form of an "O"-ring (10) at the blind end of the entry (7) to prevent moisture getting into the cable. The other end of the sleeve (2) from the body (6) is mechanically secured as by adhesive to the outer surface of an outer sheath of the multi-core cable (9) at anchor (11). To re-enter connection, the termination (3) and component (4) are unscrewed and pulled apart in direction "X" so that the convulutions of the sleeve (2) bunch up. An embodiment is described in which a metallic screen is independent of end termination (3) and is not retracted when the termination is retracted, the screen having a ring which has complementary mating engagement with the end termination.</p> |
