Abstract
A cable coupling, particularly for data buses, includes a transformer and resistors to which the cables are directly wired. The components and all electrical connections are enclosed in a heat shrinkable tubing or sleeve filled with liquid encapsulant. Upon application of heat, the tubing shrinks causing the encapsulant to fill all voids between components. The encapsulant is then cured to provide an uncased coupling assembly which protects the components and electrical connections from breakage, while eliminating the need for a separate rigid housing. An overbraided shield and environmental seal may subsequently be added to provide further protection for the coupling.
