Abstract
Fittings for plastic insulated medium voltage cables, which can be pushed on or plugged in, consisting essentially of an elastic insulating body with an outer contact protection in which a metallic housing which is axially slotted one or more times is used as contact protection. The slots, which are parallel or inclined to the housing axis and can be interrupted one or more times, ensure radial elasticity of the metallic housing. The housing can be embedded in the elastic insulating body, preferably in an electrically conducting layer of the insulating body.
