Abstract
A connection between the ends of two discrete signal transmission devices allows signal propagation between the ends of the devices. The ends of the devices are axially aligned at a close distance from one another within an alignment sleeve. A length of heat-shrink tubing having a sealant on its inner surfaces is placed over the alignment sleeve and the ends of the devices. The tubing is heated and provides axially compressive and radially compressive forces on the alignment sleeve and device ends thereby providing a high tensile strength connection between the device ends.
