Abstract: An electric cable joint arrangement includes two cables each having a cable end. Each cable has a metallic conductor surrounded by extruded polymeric insulation. Contiguous ends of the conductors are aligned and connected together by a joint, a screen extending over the joint, and a resilient insulating body shrunk onto the insulation to insulate the joint arrangement. At least one pin extends through a close-fitting bore in the insulation of each cable end and is embedded into the conductor. The screen extends over each pin. An associated method includes exposing insulation, forming at least one bore through the insulation, driving a pin through each bore until the pin is embedded into the conductor, aligning and connecting together ends of the metallic conductors, and providing a screen extending over a conductor joint and an area of each of the pin and a resilient insulating body shrunk onto the cable insulation.
