Abstract: A cold shrink protective cover for a cable junction including a first cable having a first outer diameter and a second cable having a connection to the first cable. The second cable has an outer diameter that differs from the outer diameter of the first cable. When shrunk around a cable junction the protective cover comprises a first shrinkable tubular member, covering a portion of the first cable and a portion of the connection, and a at least a second shrinkable tubular member covering a portion of the second cable and extending over the connection to at least partially cover an end portion of the first shrinkable tubular member to form an overlapped seam between the two tubular members.

Abstract: A sleeve for enclosing a cable connection, comprising a bendable sheet adapted to be laid around the cable connection. The sheet has a series of equally spaced longitudinal cuts in at least one marginal portion to be arranged transversely of the longitudinal direction of the cable connection. The cuts subdivide the marginal portion into tongues so that as the sheet is laid around the cable connection, the tongues can be laid with a partial overlap tapering down onto the cable sheath at the end of the cable connection. The longitudinal cuts are formed by cutting lines which extend in a direction deivating from the longitudinal direction so that the free ends of the tongues are offset with respect to the base portions of the tongues in a direction transversely of the longitudinal direction.
