A 15 kv cable joint is enclosed within two half shells filled with sealant material. Displacement or thermal expansion of the sealant is accommodated by various configurations of stress cones that have apertures or surfaces that are flexible and arranged to maintain pressure on the sealant for example during thermal cycling of the joint.

[ We claim:] [1.] An enclosure arranged to enclose a connection between a screened electric power cable and another piece of electrical equipment, the enclosure comprising a housing, at least one electrical stress cone contained within the housing, and a quantity of compressible sealant material that is contained by the housing and that substantially fills the housing when enclosing the connection, wherein the at least one stress cone comprises resilient aperture means that is arranged to change its volume in response to a change of volume, or displacement, of the sealant material thereby, in operation, to maintain substantially complete filling of the housing around the connection without the formation of voids therein.
