Abstract
A sleeve for protecting cable splices against environmental moisture and aggressive fluids comprises two half-shells having flanges which are placed against each other in the assembled position. In this position, the adjacent flanges define a duct into which sealing material in the form of paste is introduced. The opposite ends of the sleeve are provided with jaws which are clamped against the cable at the time of assembly of the two half-shells. Two jaws define between them a chamber which communicates with the sealing duct by means of a channel formed around the entire periphery of a jaw which is adjacent to the chamber, the channel being located at the bottom of the recess in which the jaw is fitted.
