Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0038291A1] A method of forming a seal between a tubular cable outlet projecting from a joint enclosure (1) and a cable (21) passing through the cable outlet into the enclosure (1) in which a heat-recoverable sleeve (11) is shrunk around the cable (21) and the cable outlet (7, 8, 9); an electrically conductive, guard sleeve (13) is placed around the heat-recoverable sleeve (11) so that it substantially surrounds it and extends beyond each of its ends. The cable (21) sealed to the joint enclosure (1) can be used within a zone 1 hazardous environment, for example in a sewer. The guard sleeve (13) is preferably of stainless steel, so as to resist attack by rodents as well as enabling the joint enclosure (1) to meet zone-1 explosion-resistance requirements when the cable includes power supply conductors, for instance for powering electronic communication equipment within the enclosure (1).
