Abstract:
1. A fitting for coupling an end portion of a first insulated conductor to an end portion of a second insulated conductor, comprising: a sleeve configured to be placed over the end portion of the first insulated conductor and the end portion of the second insulated conductor; and an electrically conductive core coupling located inside the sleeve, the core coupling being configured to fit around an end portion of an electrically conductive core of the first insulated conductor and an end portion of an electrically conductive core of the second insulated conductor and the core coupling electrically couples the core of the first insulated conductor to the core of the second insulated conductor when the end portions of the insulated conductors are inserted into the fitting; wherein an interior volume of the sleeve around the core coupling is substantially filled with electrically insulating material, and the electrically insulating material is configured to be compressed between an end portion of an electrical insulator in the first insulated conductor and an end portion of an electrical insulator in the second insulated conductor when the end portions of the insulated conductors are inserted into the fitting.
