ABSTRACT:
A device for repairing and electrically connecting at least two sections of electrical cable includes an elongate connector, for example a tube, having two open ends that are each adapted to receive an end of an electrical cable section. The cable connector has an interior wall longitudinally dividing the cable connector into two portions, each portion having a hollow interior for containing the end of one of the two electrical cable sections. The cable connector also has an orifice in each of the two portions communicating with the hollow interior of that portion. A closure device, such as a threaded plug, is mateable with each orifice. In operation, water damage to the electrical cable portions is repaired by securing an end of an electrical cable section in the hollow interior of each of the two portions of the cable connector and passing water-damage repairing chemicals through the orifices in the cable connector, into the hollow interior of each of the two portions of the cable connector, and into the interior of the sections of the electrical cable. The secondary addition of damming chemicals through the cable connector and into the electrical cable sections is not required. The sections of electrical cable are electrically connected when secured in the hollow interior of the two portions of the cable connector; therefore, the cable connector also functions as a splice electrically joining the two wire sections. With the connection of only a single cable end to the conduit for passage of water damage repair chemicals therethrough, the conduit functions as a terminal.
