Abstract
A protective construction for a splice porion of several wires includes a transparent or semi-transparent cap made of resin with a mouth and a bottom end. The cap is filled with a transparent or semi-transparent hot melt. Exposed conductors in the spliced portion of the wires are welded and inserted into the hot melt such that the hot melt reaches the mouth of the cap. The transparent or semi-transparent nature of the cap and hot melt permits visual inspection of the wires in the cap.
