Abstract

An arrangement for termination of a screened cable comprises: PA1 (a) a termination piece for the screen having a hollow, preferably metal, cable entry portion that can be positioned around the wire(s) of the cable, and PA1 (b) a dimensionally recoverable hollow article which can be positioned over at least part of the cable entry portion and the proximal part of the cable extending from the cable entry portion. The cable entry portion is provided with a gripping member, for example a thin annular ridge, for gripping the cable screen, placed around the entry portion. After the cable screen has been positioned over the cable entry portion and gripping member, the recoverable article is positioned over the cable and cable entry portion and is recovered to cause the gripping member to grip the cable screen.
