A support core includes a tube body for holding a device in an expanded state, a low-friction film disposed over an outer surface of the tube body, and a fixing device for holding the film in place, the fixing device comprising a loop of tape wrapped longitudinally over the film and through the tube body, or a tab on the film that is affixed to the tube body. To remove the tube body, the tape and/or film are cut so that the film can slide towards the front end of the tube body, and the tube body is then pulled out of the device.

A tool system for mounting an elastic sleeve includes a holdout tube supporting the elastic sleeve prior to and during mounting, the holdout tube having a longitudinal axis, an interface element movable along the longitudinal axis and transferring pressure onto the elastic sleeve to push the elastic sleeve off the holdout tube during mounting, and an actuation lever engaging the holdout tube at a fulcrum region of the actuation lever. The actuation lever has a pair of load arms partly encompassing the holdout tube. A load region is arranged at a peripheral end of each of the load arms. The actuation lever actuates the interface element by pressing the load regions of the actuation lever against the interface element.

A pre-expanded cover assembly unit for covering an electrical connection between first and second cables includes a cover assembly in a folded state including an elastomeric outer sleeve defining a cable passage to receive the electrical connection. The outer sleeve includes an intermediate section and first and second outer sections. The first outer section is folded at a first annular fold and is on the intermediate section and/or the second outer section. The cover assembly includes a first retention layer between the intermediate section and the first outer section. The cover assembly includes a first friction reducing layer between the first retention layer and the first outer section. The cover assembly unit includes a removable holdout mounted within the outer sleeve. The cover assembly is movable from a folded state to an unfolded state by sliding the first outer section in a first axial direction away from the intermediate section.

The assembly includes a protective elastic tubular body and a tubular core for holding the tubular body expanded including a first part and a second part which are associated, the core being in an operating position in which the second part covers the first part, and being configured for an elongate member to be inserted into its internal space in operating position and for a pull then applied to the first part to make it slide relative to the second part to reach an extended position in which it can no longer move in relation to the second part; the second part including legs projecting axially from a collar and connected to each other exclusively by the collar; in the operating position the collar and legs surround the first part; and in the extended position the collar surrounds the first part and the legs are axially beyond the first part.

A splice for use in high voltage electrical environment employing a combination of cold-shrink and interference fit in a single splice component allowing for the use of a shortened core at a first cold splice end and the absence of a cable adapter at the interference fit second end.

A cold shrinkable terminal comprises a terminal body fixed to a cable joint disposed at an end of the cable and a composite void filling mastic. The cable joint includes a conductor core, an inner insulation layer disposed on the conductor core, and a conductive shielding layer disposed on the inner insulation layer. The composite void filling mastic covers an incision of the conductive shielding layer and includes a filling layer in contact with the cable joint and a separating layer disposed between the filling layer and the terminal body. The separating layer is made of a material different than the terminal body.

An apparatus for applying an elastic tubular sleeve onto a splicing region between at least one pair of cables, wherein the tubular sleeve is supported in a radially expanded condition on at least one supporting element, may include axial-movement devices configured to axially move the at least one supporting element relative to the tubular sleeve at an adjustable speed, so as to cause a radial elastic shrinkage of the tubular sleeve capable of inducing an axial ejection thrust on the at least one supporting element, and counter devices configured to counteract the axial ejection thrust induced by the elastic shrinkage of the tubular sleeve.

A screen connector for electrical cables may include: a conductive shield sock extending about a longitudinal axis and configured to couple to a conductive screen of at least one electrical cable or to at least one jointing assembly for the electrical cables; a shrinkable protective sleeve arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the conductive shield sock; at least one first removable support element arranged in a radially inner position with respect to the conductive shield sock and configured to hold the conductive shield sock and the shrinkable protective sleeve in a radially expanded state; and/or at the axially opposite end portions of the screen connector, at least one watertight element. The at least one watertight element may be radially interposed between the conductive shield sock and the shrinkable protective sleeve.
