Abstract

A conductive sleeve includes a central portion with a front, a rear, and sides; at least one flange mated with at the sides of the central portion; and capacitive section that extends from a portion of the central portion at the rear of the central portion. The central portion is adapted to be placed over an end of a cable and extend over at least one conductor of the cable. The at least one flange is adapted to connect with a mating conductor. The capacitive section has a width smaller than a width of the central portion and is adapted to be placed immediately adjacent to an insulator of the cable and another conductor of the cable to form substantially a capacitive shorting circuit.
