INSULATOR FOR COVERING ELECTRICAL CABLES

摘要

T/AB 846F An insulator for covering an electric cable has a spacer with circular recesses for receiving portions of a connector which extend beyond a surface of the cable covered by the insulator. The spacer thickness is selected to be greater than the portion of the connector extending beyond the cable surface. The diameter of each recess is chosen so as to closely accommodate the extending portions of its associated connector and to provide a substantial barrier of insulation about the connector out to the edges of the cables being joined to prevent moisture, dirt and other contaminants from reaching the connector and causing its degradation or shorting.
