Abstract
An integral, unitary cover assembly for covering an electrical connection between first and second electrical cables each having a primary conductor and a neutral conductor includes an inner elastomeric sleeve, an outer elastomeric sleeve and an integral jumper assembly. The inner sleeve defines a cable passage to receive the electrical connection and the primary conductors of the first and second cables. The outer sleeve surrounds the inner sleeve. The jumper assembly includes an electrically conductive jumper conductor, a first jumper connector and a second jumper connector. The jumper conductor is interposed between the inner and outer sleeves and has first and second opposed ends. The first jumper connector is mounted on the first end of the jumper conductor and is configured to mechanically and electrically couple the neutral conductor of the first cable to the jumper conductor. The second jumper connector is mounted on the second end of the jumper conductor and configured to mechanically and is electrically couple the neutral conductor of the second cable to the jumper conductor.
