Elastomeric, electrical insulator with one or more additional protective properties

An article for insulating an electrical connection, the article comprising:

• a substantially elastic insulator manufactured of an electrically insulating material and an ultraviolet (UV) inhibiting material, the insulator having a thickness that insulates a user from an electrical current associated with the electrical connection device, a width dimensioned to cover at least a portion of the electrical connection device at which inadvertent contact with the electrical current is possible, and a length and an inside opening width dimensioned to encircle the at least a portion of the electrical connection device and provide an elastic force upon the electrical connection device to maintain the insulator in position upon, and to prevent breakage and springing from, the electrical connection device.
