An enclosure for a shielded cable termination or joint comprises a protective sleeve comprising a conductive outer layer (51), an insulating inner layer (52), advantageously of substantially uniform cross-section for at least a portion of its length, and optionally a stress grading innermost layer (53). At least the insulating layer (52) and/or the stress grading layer (53) overlaps the or each cable shield, in the case of the insulating layer by an amount at least equal to the thickness of the portion of the insulating layer overlapping the cable shield end. Preferably the sleeve is installed by heat recovery.
