ABSTRACT:
A low odor cover for a connector of a cable is disclosed, which has a sleeve which is chemically swellable and which is initially in dilated configuration, and which subsequently shrinks into place by evaporation of the volatile dilation composition. The sleeve is 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.
