    Abstract: A device for insulating and re-insulating cable splices and terminations in which a housing encloses and defines a space around a portion of the cable to be insulated. An insulating gel fills the space. The insulating gel is formed of an imbibitive lightly crosslinked polymer having an insulating fluid such as mineral oil entrapped in the polymer network thereof. The polymer before it combines with the oil is granular, in the form of a multiplicity of imbiber beads. The imbiber beads may be formed of a styrene or alkylstyrene polymer.
