2103027 9221510 PCTABS00017 A method of sealing a connector (2) in an electrical cable (1) for example a submarine cable comprises: (i) applying a quantity of gel (6) onto the connector and encapsulate at least part of it; (ii) positioning an inner hollow dimensionally recoverable article (9), for example in the form of a cap, about the connector and gel and recovering it thereon to enclose the gel and at least part of the connector, the recovery causing part (12) of the gel to exude out of the open end of the article; and (iii) positioning an outer hollow open-ended dimensionally recoverable article (13) over the connector (2) and recovering it so that it encloses at least the end of the inner article (9) and the part (12) of the gel (6) that has exuded therefrom. This method can enable an effective seal against moisture ingress to be made while at the same time being relatively easy to remove for re-entry without damaging the connector.
