ABSTRACT:
A simple and inexpensive mineral insulated cable termination comprises a flexible plastics tube which at one end fits over the cut-back sheath of the cable and which at the other end is closed by an end wall spaced from the surface of the cable, each cable conductor passing through one of a plurality of throughbores in the end wall and, filling the space within the tube, waterproof electrically insulating compound. At a first position around the circumferential wall of the tube, the wall is slit throughout its length and radial thickness and at one position or at each of two positions circumferentially spaced from said first position the wall is adapted to constitute a hinge extending throughout the length of the wall. The abutting longitudinally extending parts of the wall at said first position are so shaped one effects a snap-fit with the other throughout the length of the tube.
