Method of using an extender for a separable insulated connector

A method for replacing a first separable insulated connector providing a connection between a cable and a distribution component with a second separable insulated connector, comprising the steps of:

• cutting said cable, thereby leaving a shortened cable;
• removing said first separable insulated connector from said distribution component;
• inserting said shortened cable into a cable adapter;
• inserting said cable adapter into an extender comprising a conductor and a conductive cable connector, such that said shortened cable is in electric communication with said conductor;
• inserting said extender into said second separable insulated connector, such that said conductor is in electric communication with said second separable insulated connector;
• and
• connecting said second separable insulated connector to said distribution component, such that said second separable insulated connector is in electric communication with said distribution component,
• wherein said extender comprises an inner layer, an outer layer, and an insulating layer disposed between said inner layer and said outer layer,
• wherein said extender has an inner diameter and an outer diameter, and
• wherein at least a portion of said inner layer extends from said inner diameter to said outer diameter.

• removing said first separable insulated connector from said distribution component;
• inserting said shortened cable into a cable adapter;
• inserting said cable adapter into a first extender comprising a first conductor and a first conductive cable connector, such that said shortened cable is in electric communication with said first conductor;
• inserting said first extender into a second extender comprising a second conductor and a second conductive cable connector, such that said first conductor and said shortened cable are in electric communication with said second conductor;
• inserting said second extender into said second separable insulated connector, such that said second conductor is in electric communication with said second separable insulated connector;
• and
• connecting said second separable insulated connector to said distribution component, such that said second separable insulated connector is in electric communication with said distribution component.
