Abstract: An insert for protecting electrical conductors in a cable during and after installation of a shield connector. The insert includes a flexible piece of plastic broadly oval in plan which may be easily inserted underneath the outer cover and shield of a cable to protect the electrical conductors contained within the cable.

Abstract: An insert for the ends of a splice case providing a sealed passageway which may be used, subsequent to installation of the splice case, for providing an access hole for receipt of additional cables and the like. The insert includes a first resilient tube having a rigid metal sleeve positioned thereabout and an end seal at a first end thereof. A second resilient tube extends from about the first resilient tube at a second end of said tube. The insert is positioned through an end member of a splice case during fabrication of the end member. The end seal may be cut at a later time when an access passageway leading into the splice case is required.
