Cable holder

A cable holder useful for holding a single insulated cable assembly or a multiplicity of insulated cable assemblies wherein the cable holder comprises;

• a pair of components attached or integral with each other so as to form a sheath or sleeve for containing the cable assembly or cable assemblies wherein adjacent metal ends of adjoining cable parts are interconnected by a metal joint whereby when the holder is in a closed position there is provided an internal space formed by mutually adjoining channels wherein (i) the or each internal space has a diameter that is substantially the same as each insulated cable part located proximal to said metal joint and said metal joint has a diameter or lateral dimension which is smaller than a diameter or transverse dimension of the or each internal space and the or each internal space does not include any sealing arrangement;
• or (ii) there is provided a sealing rib or gasket which completely surrounds each channel wherein when the cable holder is in a closed position adjacent sealing ribs are in abutment with each other whereby each sealing rib is formed by an overmoulding process whereby each rib is formed at least partly from a softer plastics material than a plastic material forming a body of the cable holder.
