Extruder assembly

An extruder assembly comprising:

• a barrel, through which a conductor can travel;
• a first subassembly for extruding a first sleeve on the conductor;
• and
• a second subassembly for extruding a second sleeve onto the first sleeve, the second sleeve comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a cross-section comprising a first annulus sector and a second annulus sector, the first portion comprising the first annulus sector, the second portion comprising the second annulus sector, the first and second portions are in contact with the first sleeve, the first subassembly and the second subassembly cooperate with the barrel to define a first channel to extrude the first sleeve and the second sleeve onto the conductor, the second subassembly defining a second channel and a third channel, the first, second, and third channels are all annular channels, the second channel to extrude the first portion, the third channel to extrude the second portion, the second channel is in fluid communication with the first channel via a first opening, the second subassembly comprising a protrusion blocking partially the first opening at a location of the protrusion, the third channel is in fluid communication with the first channel via a second opening at a location downstream of the location of the protrusion;
• wherein the second subassembly comprises a first member and a second member defining the second channel, wherein the second subassembly comprises a third member and a fourth member defining the third channel, and wherein the second member comprises a portion of the protrusion and the third member comprises another portion of the protrusion.
