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.

Screen connectors for electrical cables and jointing assemblies comprising the screen connector

A jointing assembly for electrical cables may include: a connector extending about a longitudinal axis and provided, at at least one end portion thereof, with at least one housing seat for at least one free end of a respective electrical cable; and a shrinkable sleeve coaxially arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the connector. The shrinkable sleeve may be held in a radially expanded state by at least one removable support element radially interposed between the connector and the shrinkable sleeve. The connector may be mechanically coupled to the at least one removable support element by at least one stop element that radially projects from at least one of the connector and the at least one removable support element, and that contacts the other one of the connector and the at least one removable support element.
