Abstract

An arrangement for enclosing a branch-off between two or more cables (11,12) comprises a dimensionally recoverable sleeve (1) which can surround the branch-off and a clip (6) having a pair of legs (8) that can be positioned about opposed walls of the sleeve to divide the sleeve into channels for the cables. The sleeve has one or more transversely extending ribs at its end and the clip has a profile, e.g. being provided with protuberances 9, such that it can be pushed onto the end of the sleeve and can be retained thereon by engagement of the rib(s).
