ABSTRACT:
A connector for securing a protective sleeve about an electrical cable portion of an electrical cable assembly. The connector is formed of heat-shrinkable tubing and is slipped over the cuff of the sleeve and a portion of an adjacent plug of the cable assembly. Upon the application of sufficient heat to the connector, the connector shrinks around and onto the sleeve cuff and plug portion to form a relatively thin, smooth, mechanical attachment between the sleeve cuff and plug portion. The protective sleeve is thereby immovably disposed about the cable portion of the electrical cable assembly to minimize wear and tear to the cable portion during use in supplying temporary electrical power to planes at an airport.
