    [00036] Reference is now made to figures 1 to 15, a system or kit of recapping or relining cable 101 (figure 7) according to embodiments of the present invention will be shown. The cable jacket system 101 includes a cable jacket sleeve (Figures 1 to 4) formed from an electrically insulating material, optionally a supplemental compression member, or systems 172, 270, 380, 480, as will be discussed here later. The cable jacketing system 101 can be used to electrically jacket and insulate substrates such as cables and connectors. The cable jacket kit 101 can be mounted on a cable jacket assembly 102 (figures 7 through 9) to jacket and seal a connection or junction (as in figure 6) between two or more cables 20 and connector 24, to form an assembly. protected connection cable 10, as shown in figures 7-9, or to recap a damaged cable segment. Similarly, the cable wrap kit can be used to reline a section of cable where the cable jacket has been removed, or is compromised. Junction 25 (or another section) may be contained in an environmentally sealed chamber 104 (figures 7-9) defined in jacket assembly 102. Cables 20 may include an electrically conductive core 20A defined within jacket assembly 102. cables 20 may include an electrically conductive core 20A surrounded by insulation 20B (figure 6). Cables 20 have a cable geometry axis B-B.
    [00037] Referring now to Figures 1 to 4, the sleeve assembly 100 includes a cable wrap sleeve 110, a pair of mastic putty strips or segments 152, 154, and putty putty or strip 160 .
    [00038] The cable jacket 110 defines longitudinal axis A-A (figure 1) and includes a longitudinally extending body 112 and a connector system 130 (figure 7). The longitudinally extending body 112 includes a main longitudinally extending portion 114 (Figure 3). The longitudinally extending portion 114 has a first longitudinal closure edge 120, a second longitudinal closure edge 122 laterally spaced and parallel with respect to the first longitudinal edge 120, laterally extending end edges 124, 126, surface or outer side 116 and surface or inner side 117 (figure 4).
    [00039] The main portion 114 has corrugations 128 has a lateral cross section with a corrugated profile. As shown, corrugates 128 are U-shaped in lateral cross section; but, the profile of the corrugated, instead, can be in a zigzag, or in another suitable pattern.
    [00040] The connector system 130 (figures 1, 4, 8) includes a first connector portion 132, a second connector portion 140, coupled to the first connector portion 132. The first connector portion 132 is configured as a pin or member of shoulder 134 coupled and extending from the first longitudinal edge portion 120. The shoulder member 134 has an insert member in the form of a pin or shoulder 136, the leading edge 136A having a tapered (in this case, semi-circular) profile. The shoulder member 134 has a trailing member 138. The trailing member 138 is coupled to the first longitudinal edge 120.
    [00041] The second connector portion 140 is configured in the form of a socket member 142 coupled and extending from the second longitudinal edge 122. The socket member 142 defines a socket 144. The socket member 142 has a lip member 146 (figure 4) extending from a closure side of socket member 142 and a distal end spaced laterally from the closure side. Socket 144 is configured to engage shoulder 136. Socket 144 includes a pair of opposing locking elements or lips 148 (figure 4).
    The shoulder member 134 and the socket member 142 may include grip surfaces 134A and 142A (figure 4), respectively, which help to wrap and secure the sleeve 110 around the cable section.
    [00043] A pair of longitudinally spaced apart window openings or cutouts 145, 147 are formed in connector portion 140. Window openings 145, 147 communicate with socket 144, and are longitudinally aligned and/or fitted with connector segments. mastic 152, 154.
    [00044] The mastic segments 152, 154 are mounted in a sleeve 110 adjacent to the end edges 124, 126, respectively, and are arranged longitudinally spaced apart to define a space 151 (figure 1) between them. The mastic segments 152, 154 are substantially identical in composition and configuration and therefore only the cable mastic segment 152 will be described in detail herein, it being understood that the description applies equally to the cable mastic segment 154 .
    [00045] Reference is made to Figure 3, the cable mastic segment 152 has longitudinally opposite edges 152A, 152B, laterally opposite edges 152C 152D, an inner surface 153, and an opposite outer surface 155 (facing the inner surface 116 of sleeve 110). The mastic segment 152 continuously extends transversely across the sleeve 110 so that the longitudinal edges 152A and 152B are disposed on the longitudinal edges 120, 122 of the sleeve or beyond, so that when the sleeve 110 is applied and secured to around the handle, the side end portions of the handle putty segment 152 overlap. Longitudinal edge 152A may be disposed more inwardly from longitudinal edge 120 than as shown in the drawings. Cable mastic segment 153 generally defines a body 156 and longitudinally extending shoulders 158 and depending therefrom.
    [00046] The inner surface 153 may be substantially flat.
    [00047] The outer surface 155 undulates according to the profile of the lugs 158 and forms a substantially coincident or complementary profile to the inner surface 114 of the sleeve 110. That is, both lugs 158 fit and conform to the channels 128A and other corrugations 128. In some embodiments, outer surface 155 is bonded to inner surface 114 through corrugations 128, and in some embodiments, through lateral extension of handle mastic segment 152.
    [00048] As seen, space 151 does not provide a seal in the main portion 114. However, according to other embodiments, additional mastic segments may be provided in the main portion 114 between segments 152, 154 or the seal may extend continuously from the location of the cable putty segment 152 to the location of the cable putty segment 154.
    [00049] The closing mastic strip 160 is disposed in the socket 144, thereafter serving as the closing sealing chamber. More particularly, the cable mastic strip 160 extends lengthwise along the length of the socket 144, at least from the cable mastic segment 152 to the cable mastic segment 154. In some embodiments, the strip of closure mastic 160 extends substantially continuously from edge 124 to edge 126.
    [00050] To provide a continuous seal for the cable chamber 104 of the cable wrap sleeve assembly 102 around the end openings and junction of the sleeve 110, the cable mastic segment 152 and cable mastic segment 154 intersect the closing mastic strip 160 at window openings 145, 147. More particularly, handle mastic segment 152 sealingly contacts closing mastic strip 160 (at least partially) through the first window opening 145, and the segment of cable putty 154 sealingly contacts the closing putty strip 160 (at least partially) through the second window opening 147 (as shown in figure 9).
    [00051] The cable jacket 110 is formed from an electrically insulating material, which can be a variety of longitudinally insulating material, as should be understood by those skilled in the art, including, but not limited to, thermoplastics and elastomers thermoplastics. According to some embodiments, the electrically insulating material is a thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer can be various thermoplastic elastomers, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, and is preferably selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and rubber blends, such as the material provided by Advanced Elastomer Systems of Akron, Ohio, with the name SantopreneTM. The longitudinally extending portion 114 has a hardness of at least about 55 Shore A, preferably at least about 80 Shore A, and more preferably about 90 Shore A. The longitudinally extending portion 114 has a flexural modulus between a lower limit of about * convert, last line 13,789 MPa (2000 psi), preferably about 27,579 MPa (4000 psi), and more preferably about 41,368 MPa (6000 psi), and an upper limit of about 689,475 MPa (100,000 psi), preferably about 172,368 MPa (25000 psi), and more preferably about 68,947 (10,000 psi).
    [00052] According to some embodiments, the longitudinally extending portion 114 has a 100% tension modulus in accordance with ASTM D412 between a lower limit and an upper limit. In some embodiments, the lower limit is about 1,724 MPa (250 psi), preferably about 5.516 MPa (800 psi), and more preferably about 11,031 MPa (1600 psi). In some embodiments, the longitudinally extending portion 114 has a tension adjustment in accordance with ASTM D412 of less than about 60%, preferably less than about 50%, and more preferably less than about 20% . The longitudinally extending portion 114 has a lateral reach of at least about 15%, preferably at least about 30%, and more preferably at least about 50%. The longitudinally extending portion 114 has a lateral reach of less than about 10%, preferably less than about 5%, and more preferably less than about 2%.
    [00053] According to some embodiments, the longitudinally extending portion 114 is formed from a first polymer, while the connector portions 132, 140 are formed from a second polymer different from the first polymer (type and formulation) . Therefore, connector portions 132, 140 can be provided with greater rigidity than the longitudinally extending portion 114. In some embodiments, the first polymer, which forms the longitudinally extending portion 114, is a thermoplastic elastomer and the material of the connector portions 132, 140, having greater rigidity, is a polypropylene. Other connector arrangements can also be used. For example, an external clamp lock may be applied to the longitudinal edges 120, 122, or to co-operative components at edges 120, 122.
    [00054] Cable putty segments 152, 154 can be formed from any suitable flowable sealing putty. In some embodiments, the mastic segments 152, 154 include a polymer that is at least partially cured. Although segments of cable mastic 152, 154 include an at least partially cured polymer, mastics 152, 154 remain deformable and adhered to sleeve material 110 and cable insulation 20B. However, curing the rope putty segments 152, 154 prevents the rope putty segments 152, 154 from flowing from the sleeve 110 at operating temperatures. According to some embodiments, the cable putty segments 152 154 do not flow freely at least in the operating temperature range (-20o C to 135oC). Thus, in some embodiments, the polymer in the handle mastic segments 152, 154 has a free-flowing temperature greater than 140°C, preferably greater than 150°C, and more preferably greater than 180°C. In some embodiments, the mastic segments of this 152, 154 include cured butyl rubber. Other suitable mastics can include mastics formed from materials including synthetic rubber or synthetic polymer. Furthermore, according to some modalities, the mastic segments 152, 154 must be electrically insulating. Suitable polymers that can be used in the 152, 154 mastic segments include S1278 from Tyco Electronics Corp.
    [00055] According to some embodiments, the thickness T1 (figure 4) of the cable mastic segments 152, 154 is in the range of 0.25 to 2 cm. According to some embodiments, the length L1 (figure 1) of the cable mastic segments 152, 154 is in the range of 5 to 15 cm. According to some embodiments, the width W1 (figure 1) of the cable mastic segments 152, 154 is in the range of 7 and 40 cm. Width W1 can be equal to the width of glove body 112.
    [00056] Closing Mastic Strip 160 can be formed from any suitable flowable sealing mastic. According to some embodiments, the closing mastic strip 160 is formed from a different mastic composition than the composition of the handle mastic segments 152, 154. According to some embodiments, the closing mastic strip 160 is a softer mastic than the mastic of segments 152, 154 at an installation temperature in the range of -20o to 135oC. Under some embodiments, mastic 160 is softer than mastic 152, 154 at all operating temperatures within the operating temperature range. Under some embodiments, mastic 160 has a lower free flow temperature than mastics 152, 154. Under some embodiments, closing mastic strip 160 has a softening point temperature (lower temperature range, in which the mastic flows) lower than the mastic segments 152, 154.
    [00057] In some embodiments, closing mastic strip 160 is butyl rubber, and in some embodiments, closing mastic strip 160 is synthetic rubber or synthetic polymer mastics. Closing mastic strip 160 can be semi-cured. Under some arrangements, the closing mastic strip 160 does not flow freely, at least in the operating temperature range (-20o C to 95oC). Furthermore, according to some modalities, the closing mastic strip 160 must be electrically insulating. A suitable polymer for the 160 mastic strip is S1337 from Tyco Electronics Corp.
    [00058] According to some embodiments, the thickness T2 (figure 4) of the closing mastic strip 160 is in the range of about 0.25 to 1 cm. According to some embodiments, the length T2 (figure 1) of the closing mastic strip 160 is substantially equal to the length of the socket 144. According to some embodiments, the length L21 is equal to at least the distance of the mastic segment 152 to the mastic segment 154.
    [00059] The cable jacket 110 is formed using any suitable technique. In some embodiments, a fabric (web) of electrically insulating material is extruded and cut to form a cable jacket having a first end and a second end. The step of extruding may comprise the step of extruding a fabric including corrugations, which define a corrugated side cross section. The extruding step can also include a rigid thermoplastic and a thermoplastic elastomer. Extrusion is done by any suitable method, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The handle putty segments 152, 154, and the closing putty strip 160 can be applied to the sleeve 110 (i.e., as will be described below) before or after cutting the fabric to the desired length.
    [00060] According to some embodiments, the cable mastic segments 152, 154 are hot pressed or at least heated before being pressed into the sleeve 110. In particular, in some embodiments, as discussed, the mastic segments 152, 154 they are semi-reticulated, having their flowability or deformability limited to room temperature. To ensure a good interface and adhesion with the inner surface 116 in the corrugated channels 128A, each segment of cable mastic 152, 154 is heated to the prescribed elevated temperature, and pressed at the prescribed pressure, for at least a certain period of time. so that the cable mastic segments 152,154 flow or deform in the corrugated channels 128A. Next, the cable putty segment 152, 154 is allowed to cool to room temperature. According to some modalities, the prescribed high pressing temperature is in the range of 80° to 120°C. In some embodiments, the prescribed pressing pressure is in the prescribed range of 150 to 350 kPa and in some embodiments from about 250 to 750 kPa. In some embodiments, the prescribed pressing time is in the range of from about 0.5 to 2 sec., and, in some embodiments, from about 0.25 to 5 sec.
    [00061] Reference is now made to Figure 5, where a pressing apparatus 50 is shown, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, for pressing the cable mastic segment 152 into the sleeve 110. The pressing apparatus 50 includes a plate 52 to secure the sleeve 110. The pressing apparatus 50 further includes a pressing head 54 to apply a load to the preheated cable mastic segment 152. Optionally, a heater device (i.e., an electrical resistor) can be operably connected to plate 52 and press head 54 for heating. A load applying device or actuator 58 (hydraulic cylinder) is operably connected to the head 54 to apply a load thereto. Alternatively, the press head 54 can also be actuated manually. In some embodiments, the mastic segment 152 is preheated to the elevated temperature prescribed in sleeve 110, and placed and pressed into plate 52.
    [00062] Closing Mastic Strip 160 can be installed in socket 144 by any suitable technique. In some embodiments, sealing strip 160 is preformed (extruded) as chain or string or inserted axially into socket 144. Alternatively, sealing strip 160 is extruded axially or transversely into socket 144 (applied as a melt adhesive) .
    [00063] Reference is now made to figures 6-9, a capping kit 101 is used below to apply the sleeve assembly 100 to a joint connection 25 (figure 6) between a pair of electrical power transmission cables 20 to form an environmentally protected connection assembly 10 (figures 7-9). According to some modalities, the cables 20 are low voltage or medium voltage electrical energy transmission cables (between about 120 V to 46 KV).
    [00064] When the sleeve assembly 100 is in the open position, as shown in figure 1, the sleeve assembly 100 is positioned adjacent to the cables 20 in an axial location where the cap assembly 102 is to be installed. Sleeve 110 is circumferentially applied around cables 20 (around the geometric axes of sleeve AA and cable BB) to engage connector portions 132, 140. In particular, shoulder 136 is inserted, and socket 144 captured by lips 148. In this manner, sleeve 110 is locked in the closed condition to form a continuous end-to-end tubular member defining cable chamber 104. In some embodiments, sleeve 110 is sized so that its inner diameter is relaxed. closed is less than the outer diameter of the cables 20 so that the sleeve 110 fits the cables, the corrugations 128 being stretched at least to one extent. However, in some embodiments, the closed relaxed inner diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the ropes 20, so an outer or supplemental compression member is required to tighten the sleeve 110 on the ropes 20.
    [00065] Connecting members can be engaged using proper technique. In accordance with some embodiments, temporary clips are applied to the connector members 132, 140 to hold the connector members 132, 140 together, while the installer connects the connector portions 132, 140. Additionally, an auxiliary tool can be used to assist the installer with perform the hitch. For example, the installer can use a tool, as in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,197,816, 6,094,792. 6,195,861, 6,219,907, all of which are filed in favor of Frye, and incorporated herein by reference.
    [00066] As the shoulders enter socket 144, the front surface 136A removes the closing mastic strip 160, which flows around and between the connector portions 132, 140, to form an axial seal along the entire length of the sleeve 110 between openings 145, 147.
    [00067] While making the sleeve 110 close around the cables, the cable mastic segments 152, 154 are forced to engage the cables 20, so that the mastic segments 152, 154 completely surround the cables 20, and form a circumferential environmental seal around the respective cables 20. The environmental seal provided by the closing mastic strip 160 and the environmental seal provided by the mastic segments 152, 154 cooperate to environmentally seal the cable chamber 104. The continuity of the seal is ensured by overlap of mastics 152, 154, 160 in those window openings 145, 147. For example, the seal protects cables 20 and junction 25 from ingress of moisture.
    [00068] Mastic segments 152, 154 have a limited degree of cold flow (deformation under mechanical load in normal service or at operating temperature) that allows mastic segments 152, 154 to conform to cables 20 at sleeve closure 110, and, if applicable, the actuation of the supplementary compression members. However, in the normal temperature range, the free-flowing condition of the segments 152, 154 remains low enough to prevent excessive flow of the mastic 152, 154, wrinkling or undesirable gravity displacement of the sealing zone, water pressure, movement cable, etc. Furthermore, according to some embodiments (in particular, in a configuration where the handle putty segments 152, 154 are formed from semi-crosslinked putty), the free flow condition of the handle putty segments 152, 154 remains low enough at elevated temperatures to prevent unwanted movement or displacement of the seal zone. Elevated temperatures can occur due to overheating by cable resistance, etc.
    [00069] According to some embodiments, the supplementary compression members are mounted on the cap assembly 102 to provide resistance to the displacement of the sleeve 110 along the cables 20, limit the radial/axial expansion of the sleeve 110, and/or compress the sleeve in sealed contact with the mastic segments 152, 154. Under some embodiments, the compression members include cleats, or joining caps 172. Other suitable crimping members may include hose clips, spring clips, strap clips , toothed cleats, snap cleats, etc.
    [00070] According to some embodiments and with reference to figures 10, 11, a compression system 270 is provided on the cap assembly 102. The compression system 270 includes two pairs of fastening bands 272 and pair of anchoring members 274 Each anchoring member 274 comprises a body 274A having a locator 274E and defines a glove seat 274B and clamp seats 274C. Integrated pins 274D extend from body 274A into sleeve seat 264B and locator lugs 274F, and also hang from body 274A. In some embodiments, the anchor members 274 are made of a rigid polymeric material such as polyethylene or reinforced polypropylene. Furthermore, the anchoring members 174 can be molded.
    [00071] In use, the anchor member 274 is mounted at the end of the sleeve 110 over the corresponding layer of mastic segment 152, 154, so that the locator 274E meets the adjacent end edge 124, 126. 272 pass through clamp seats 274C and are tightened around anchor member 274 and sleeve 110 to compress the segment of cable mastic 152, 154 as discussed above.
    [00072] The radial compressive load on the anchor member 274 causes the pins 274D to be incorporated into the outer surface of the sleeve 110. In this way, the anchor members 276 are axially and circumferentially fixed on the sleeve 110, and the axial positions of the straps attachment 272 on sleeve 110, thus, are attached in the same way. Anchor members 274 help ensure that clamp strips 272 maintain their positions around mastic segments 152, 154. Anchor members 274 can also more widely and evenly distribute the loads of clamp strips 272 , to reduce unintended deformation of sleeve 110. Locators 274E serve to properly position anchor members 274 with respect to mastic segments 152, 154 and provide a resistance to tilt of anchor members 274.
    [00073] Although clamping straps 272 have been shown in figure 10 and described above, other compression members (clips) can be used in place of clamping straps 272.
    [00074] Reference is now made to Figure 12, where a compression system 380 is shown, in accordance with further embodiments of the invention, partially installed in the cap assembly 102. The compression system 380 includes a pair of gloves or bands of cold contractible compression 382. Compression bands 382 may be supplied as a pre-expanded unit in a containment element 384 (as shown in Figure 13), where compression band 382 is in the elastically expanded condition or position.
    [00075] Compression bands 382 can be formed from any suitable material. In some embodiments, the compression bands 382 are formed from an elastically expandable material. In some embodiments, compression bands 382 are formed from an elastomeric material. In some embodiments, the compression bands are formed from an ethylene polypropylene diene (EPDM) monomer rubber. Other suitable materials include neoprene or other rubbers. In some embodiments, the compression bands 382 have a 100% elongation modulus (M100) in the range of about 0.1 to 10 MPa. In some embodiments, compression bands 382 are endless bands.
    [00076] According to some embodiments, the thickness T1 (figure 13) of each compression band 382 is in the range of about 0.1 to 0.5 cm. In some embodiments, the length L3 of each compression band 382 is between about 25% and 125% of the length L3 of the corresponding cable mastic segment 152, 154.
    [00077] The containment element 384 can be formed from any suitable material. In some embodiments, containment element 384 may be formed from plastic or hardboard. In some embodiments, containment member 384 includes a helically wound strip forming a rigid cylinder, as illustrated. Containment element 384 may be factory installed. In some embodiments, the compression strips 382 may be pre-expanded in the field, with a suitable expansion tool.
    [00078] During installation, pre-expanded units 381 are slid onto cables 20 before connection 25 is formed, for example. In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the containment element 384 is greater than the outer diameter of the sleeve assembly 100, so that the inner diameter of the container 384 is sufficient to receive the sleeve assembly 100, without requiring undue effort. . Pre-expanded units 381 are attached to cables 20 until the operator is ready to install compression straps 382 of cable sleeve assembly 100.
    [00079] After the sleeve assembly 100 has been installed, as discussed, to form the protective cap assembly 102, each pre-expanded unit 384 is moved into position over sleeve 110, and more particularly over a specific segment of the mastic segments 152, 154. The containment element 384 is then removed from the compression band 382, thereby allowing the compression band to relax, and contract around the sleeve 110. In some embodiments, the bands compression clamps 382 are entirely disposed between end edges 124, 126 of sleeve 110, and do not overhang sleeve 110 or directly engage cables 20.
    [00080] The relaxed inner diameter of the compression bands 382 is smaller than the outer diameter of the installed sleeve assembly 100. Therefore, the compression bands 382 exert a force, a radial compressive load (by elastic tension) on the sleeve 110 and cable mastic segments 152, 154. The compression bands 382, in this way, increase and/or maintain the seal at the interface between the cables 20 and the mastic segments 152, 154 and seals the interface between the mastic segments 152, 154 and the inner surface 116 of the sleeve. Thus, the engagement and sealing between the mastic segments 152, 154 and cables 20 and sleeve 110 are maintained and reinforced.
    [00081] Under some embodiments, the compression bands 382 remain elastic, and apply a radial compressive load on the underlying components after installation. That is, the compression bands 382 continue to apply a compressive force. This compressive force maintains the seal between the cable putty segments 152, 154 and cable 20 and sleeve 110, even when these components expand and contract (due to temperature changes) or shift. Compression bands 382 thus serve as bands to apply preloaded pressure after installation. In some embodiments, the compression bands 382 apply a persistent radial compressive load in the range of about 35 to 250 kPa.
    [00082] According to some embodiments, the relaxed inner diameter of each compression band 382 is at least 10% smaller than the smallest diameter of the installed cap assembly 102, in which the compression band 382 is to be installed.
    [00083] While a 384 helical containment element has been shown and described, other types of containment element and application method can also be used. For example, the containment element may be a tube from which the compression band 382 is rolled into the sleeve 110.
    [00084] Reference is now made to Figure 14, where a compression system 480 is shown in accordance with additional embodiments of the present invention partially installed in the cap assembly 102. The compression system 480 corresponds to the compression system 380, the no. be in that a set of multiple cold shrinkable compression bands 482A to 482D is provided and installed at each end of sleeve assembly 100. Compression bands 482A to 482D of each assembly may be provided on a shared containment element 484 , as shown, or each of the compression bands 482A through 482D may be mounted on its own containment element.
    [00085] Compression strips 482A to 428D can be formed of the same material and installed in the same manner as discussed above with respect to compression strips 382. Compression strips 482A, 482B, 482C, 482D of a given set may have the same or different properties (modulus of elasticity, relaxed diameter, width, thickness and/or material).
    [00086] According to some embodiments, the thickness of each compression band 482A to 428D is in the range of about 0.1 to 0.5 cm. Under some embodiments, the length L4 of each compression band 482A to 428D is in the range of about 0.25 to 3.0 cm.
    [00087] Reference is now made to Figure 15, where a compression system 590 is shown, in accordance with additional embodiments of the present invention, installed in the cap assembly 102. The compression system 590 includes installable compression tape lengths 592 at either end of cover assembly 102, such as tape cover 594.
    [00088] Compression tape 592 may include any suitable tape. In some embodiments, the compression tape 592 is a resilient elastic tape. In some embodiments, the compression tape includes a self-aligning sealing tape. In some embodiments, compression tape 592 includes a self-alongating silicone tape impregnated with a substrate (in some embodiments, a fabric mesh) that limits the allowable extent of elongation of tape 592. of tape 592 is limited to about 0% to 25%. Suitable compression tapes include Tyco Electronics Corp. Fusion Tape. After the glove assembly 100 has been installed, as discussed above, to form the cap assembly 102, a length of compression tape is applied tightly around the glove assembly 100, and more particularly over the respective segment of cable mastic 152, 154, to form respective tape covers 594, as illustrated. In some embodiments, the tape 592 is spirally wound around the sleeve 110. The tape 592 is deliberately tensioned as it is wound around the sleeve, so that the tape 592, once installed, forms the cover. of tape 594, applies a radial compressive load on sleeve 110.
    [00089] As discussed above, in some embodiments, the compression tape 592 is a resilient elastic tape. During installation, tape 592 is elastically stretched so that once applied to sleeve assembly 100 as tape cover 594, tape 592 continues to persistently apply a radial compressive load to underlying components 20, 152, 154, 110 (retaining the tightening force on tape cover 594). This radial compressive load presses the sleeve 110, in compressive contact, on the mastic segments 152, 154. In this way, the engagement and therefore the sealing between the mastic segments 152, 154 and cables 20 and sleeve 110 is maintained and reinforced. Covers 594 thus serve as pre-loaded pressure tapes once installed. Under some embodiments, each cap 594 applies a persistent radial compressive load in the range of 5 to 25 kPa.
    [00090] According to some embodiments, the caps 594 are entirely disposed between the end edges 124, 126 of the sleeve 110, do not hang from the sleeve 110 or directly engage the cables 20.
    [00091] According to some embodiments, the width W5 of each tape 592 is in the range of about 2 to 7 cm. According to some embodiments, the length L5 of each tape 594 is in the range of about 5 to 15 cm.
    [00092] To assist the installer, one or more pre-locked clips 60 can be used to temporarily hold the longitudinal edge portions 120, 122 (and connector portions 132, 140) close together as in figure 16. With the clips 60 by providing a third hand, the installer can more easily interlock the connector portions 132, 140. After the connector portions 132, 140 have been interlocked (or after one or more supplemental compression members have been installed), the clip 60 can be removed.
    [00093] Reference is now made to figures 17 and 18, where a pre-locked clip is shown. Pre-locking clip 60 has a body 62 depending on side legs 64 and lugs 66, which collectively define a clip channel 68. In use, connector portions 132, 140 are received in channel 68, and lugs 66 accommodate. under the grip surfaces 134A, 142A to secure the clip 60.
    [00094] The described sleeve assemblies and jacket assemblies provide cold-applied corrugated cable jacket gloves to create an environmental seal around a cable joint or similar (ie, to re-sleeve a joint). Segments of cable putty 152, 154 for circumferentially sealing cables can provide an environmental seal around the cables, per IEEE Standard 4042006 creating an effective seal, through a cold application. In particular, semi-crosslinked cable masque segments 152, 154 provide this dual benefit. Hot pressing of the mastic segments 152, 154, as described, ensures that the mastic segments 152, 154 conform and adhere to the corrugated inner surface of the sleeve providing a sealed engagement. Closure Mastic Strip 160 provides a longitudinal environmental seal by fully encapsulating the cable section.
    [00095] Limbs and compression systems (compression system 270, 380, 480, 590), as described, can compress the circumferential mastic seals 152, 154 to increase/improve their integrity, particularly when the cap assembly 102 experiences fluctuations in-service temperature, which expands and contracts cables 20 and/or sleeve 110. In some embodiments, the compression members may be needed only for the cable mastic segments 152, 154 to contact the cables 20, for a limited time, and glue seals 152, 154 to cables 20, which can be removed, and are no longer needed to maintain a proper seal.
    [00096] According to some embodiments, the mastic segments 152, 154 and closing mastic strip 160 provide a moisture seal for the cable chamber 104. According to some embodiments, the cap assembly 102 follows standard IEE 404 -2006 (IEEE Standard for Extruded and Laminated Dielectric Shiled Cables Joints Rated 2500V to 500000V).
    [00097] While the preferred embodiments described illustrate specific connector portion embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various suitable connector portions may be used.
    [00098] Although the illustrated configuration of Figure 1 shows cam and socket members integrated with the longitudinally extending portion, the cam and socket members of the present invention can be coupled to the first and second longitudinal edge portions in various ways, such as must be understood by those skilled in the art. Lump and socket members can also be coupled to the first and second longitudinal edge portions, joining boss and socket members to the first and second longitudinal edge portions. Gluing can be done in a number of ways, as should be understood by those skilled in the art. When the boss and socket members are of different materials than the longitudinally extending portion, gluing is preferably done by co-extruding the boss and socket members with the longitudinally extending portion.
    [00099] Although the illustrated configuration shows certain mechanical connectors, the connectors of the present invention can be any suitable connector. For example, the connectors of the present invention can be mechanical connectors of different configuration, chemical connectors (e.g. adhesives), and the like.
    [000100] According to some embodiments of the present invention, compression systems (compression systems 270, 380, 480, 590), as described, can be used with other types of cold applied gloves (using gel sealers instead of sealers of mastic).
    [000101] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the closing mastic strip 160 can be composed of a non-mastic sealer. For example, the closing mastic strip 160 may instead be a gel or adhesive sealer.
    [000102] According to some embodiments, the mastic segments 152, 154 can be formed from a non-semi-reticulated mastic. In some embodiments, the mastic segments 152, 154 may be replaced with a non-mastic sealant, such as gel sealant putties.
    [000103] The above description is merely illustrative with respect to the present invention and, therefore, should not be taken in a restrictive sense. While few exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications may be made to the exemplary embodiments, without, however, departing from the scope and advantages of the present invention. Therefore, modifications are encompassed within the scope of the present invention, as will be defined only by the following claims.
