Abstract
A cable connector jacket formed of flexible, electrically insulating plastic is of unitary, one-piece construction, including two cavity-defining bodies hingedly interconnected in a clamshell-type configuration for movement between open and closed conditions. Each body has two pairs of channel-like tapered arms respectively extending in opposite directions therefrom generally parallel to the hinge line. When the bodies are in their closed conditions, the cavities define a chamber for accommodating the cable connector, and the arms of one body respectively mate with those of the other body to form four tapered tubes for respectively accommodating cable portions interconnected by the connector. A latch on the body holds the jacket closed.
