Abstract: A splice connector for connecting adjacent ends of primary distribution system cables. The connector includes a unitary splice body of molded elastomeric material including a generally longitudinal portion for receiving the cable ends from opposite sides thereof. The assembly includes a semiconductive insert sleeve for surrounding the conductor connection of the cable ends, and a substantially continuous semiconductive outer jacket. The jacket and insert sleeve are separated by a portion of insulating material the axially outer ends of which extend past the ends of the insert sleeve for engaging insulated portions of the cable ends. The insert sleeve is provided with a plurality of axially and circumferentially extending and radially inwardly directed protuberances which yieldably engage the crimped connection of the cable conductors. The ends of the jacket include similar protuberances which engage the conductive jacket portions of the cable.
