ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting electrical wires includes a housing or enclosure that surrounds contacts for making a connection to a plug. The housing is filled with a colloidal gel environmental protection material that includes particles that will absorb electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the radio frequency range to form a colloidal gel. The gel can be any one of the existing polyurethane, or silicone based gels used for environmental protection of connectors, such as telephone jacks. The particles are preferably made from either Parites or ferrites and range in size from 5 microns to 100 microns. The loading of the particles can be between 5% and 80% of the overall weight of the finished colloidal gel. The colloidal gel can be formed so that it is sufficiently cohesive to form into strips that can be wrapped around connectors as well.
