<p>The method for creating an environmental seal for the end of a severed multiconductor cable and for sealing the joints between the conductors of such cable with the contacts of a multiple contact connector into which such cable is inserted. A tape of a soft, pliant material is coated on both sides with a flowable, pressure-sensitive adhesive and is formed into a blank which can be adhered to the cable in various ways. In a first form, the blank encompasses the severed end and portions of the cable adjacent the end. When the connector into which the cable has been inserted is compressed, the adhesive is displaced to seal the contact-conductor joints. Folded-over end flaps seal the cable ends. A midspan use of the blank permits the joints to be sealed without reference to the cable end.</p> |
