Abstract
A sleeve for protecting cable splices, in particular for telephone cables, comprises two half-shells (3, 4) so designed as to be assembled together along their longitudinal edges (3a, 4a) around the cable splice (2). The opposite ends of the sleeve have jaws (5, 6, 7, 8) for radial clamping and axial retention of the two cable ends (1a, 1b) and means are provided for forming a fluid-tight seal between the two half-shells (3, 4) and between the cable and the jaws. The half-shell (4) comprises two end elements (9, 10) which are intended to be fitted over the clamping jaws (5, 6, 7, 8) and a central element (11) which is placed between the two end elements and covers their adjacent edges (9a, 10a).
