Abstract (en)
A cable coupling, particularly for data buses, includes a transformer (23) and resistors (28, 29) to which the cables (1, 2, 3) are directly wired. The components and all electrical connections are enclosed in a heat shrinkable tubing (35) or sleeve filled with liquid encapsulant (34). Upon application of heat, the tubing shrinks causing the encapsulant (34) to fill all voids between components. The encapsulant (34) is then cured to provide an uncased coupling assembly which protects the components and electrical connections from beakage, while eliminating the need for a separate rigid housing. An overbraided shield and environmental seal may subsequently be added to provide further protection for the coupling. <IMAGE>
