Abstract
Forming an encapsulated splice region between cable ends in which the splices formed by connecting conductors together are laid onto the jacket of a cable and are sealed from one another. A layer of resilient tape is wrapped around the cable and over the sealing material to seat it tightly onto conductors leading to the splices. A molded encapsulation is then formed around the splice region and the resilient tape, still in resilient condition holds the tight seal onto the conductors and prevents moisture from within the cables from reaching the splices.
