Abstract (en)

A cable jointing kit comprises a length of tubing 10 to enclose the joint, together with a pair of end members 12 each with a cylindrical portion 16 to fit into the tubing and a heat-recoverable tubular portion 14 to be recovered about the cable: the end member cylindrical portion is formed with a series of grooves 20, interconnected at staggered points 21, into which a sealing substance is injected (through the tubing wall) once the end members have been fitted into the tubing. The injected sealing substance flows freely around these grooves to ensure that at least one (and usually several) complete annular sealing rings are formed between each end member and the tubing.
