International Classification:

H01R 1362

US Classification:

439367

Abstract:

An enclosure for protecting mating end connectors of electrical cables comprising, a housing, the housing having two ends, each end having a closable opening allowing a connector of an electrical cable to be passed therethrough into the housing, each opening including a cable receiving channel having a seal for sealing to a respective electrical cable, the housing adapted to receive the mating connectors of the respective electrical cables therein, each end having two opposed members adapted to be placed in sealing relationship with each other, the housing being movable from a first condition in which a connector of a first electrical cable passing through the opening at one end is exposed for connection with the connector of a second electrical cable to a second condition in which the housing fully encloses both electrical cable connectors and wherein the ends of said housing can be closed to seal both electrical cable connectors from the external environment in the housing.
