Abstract
The present invention relates to a device which is used to repair a damaged insulating jacket on an electrical cable. The device is shrunk down around the cable without the use of heat to provide an impervious, protective covering. More particularly, the invention includes a sheet or sleeve which is elongated and held in that state by removable support struts. After covering the damaged area of the cable jacket, the struts are withdrawn to allow the sheet or sleeve to shrink down around the cable.
