ABSTRACT:
A low odor cover for a connector of a cable is disclosed, which has two interfitting sleeves which are chemically swellable and which are initially in dilated configuration, and which subsequently shrink into place by evaporation of the volatile dilation composition. Both sleeves are made of a high density elastomeric material, such as a natural or synthetic rubber, preferably (EPDM), neoprene or Hypalon.TM. rubbers. The volatile liquid combination dilation composition used is composed of a C.sub.7 -C.sub.8 aliphatic hydrocarbon component and a fluorocarbon component. The device provides a protective cover for a cable connection or splice which can be easily installed, quickly shrunk into tight vapor resistant protective covering within a matter of a few minutes, and can be installed without the need for any application of heat or use of special tools, equipment or materials.
