Abstract: An adapter for converting a non-repairable electrical cable connection into one which is repairable. The cable connection is the type in which a wire bundle is enclosed within a braided shield which is permanently terminated to a backshell, the backshell being threadedly secured by a coupling nut to a connector to which the wire bundle is terminated. The adapter comprises a pair of semi-circular adapter sections which combine to form a cylindrical adapter which fits around an unshielded portion of the wire bundle between the backshell and connector. The adapter has external threading at one end for connection to the backshell. A second coupling nut slidably mounted around the adapter connects the opposite end of the adapter to the connector. The second coupling nut is removable from around the adapter to permit the adapter sections to be separated and removed from around the unshielded portion of the wire bundle.
