Abstract
This improved stop joint is used at connections of one length of electric cable to another, for the purpose of preventing fluid in one length of cable from contacting fluid in the next length of cable. The joint includes a stop tube that surrounds the end portion of one length of cable and that is made with a mid-portion of resin base material, preferably reinforced, and end portions of metal connected to the resin base material by fluid-tight connections. These metal end portions are secured to the pipe or shield that surrounds one or both of the lengths of cable. Parts are constructed so as to minimize the time and cost of making the connections between the cable lengths and the connecting of the stop joint with the pipe or shield that surrounds the respective cables.
