Abstract
The rubber sealing cap of a mineral insulated cable termination has embedded in the circumferential wall of the cap effecting a circumferentially continuous, fluid-tight fit around the cut-back sheath of the cable, a resilient metal sleeve which protrudes from the end face of the tube and which has at its free end an inwardly extending flange which mechanically engages with the cable sheath and which is so inclined with respect to the cable sheath as to restrain the cap against removal from the cable. The protruding flange preferably has at its free end a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth which engage with the cable sheath.
