Abstract
Abstract An electrical conductor connector module of the type having a passageway through it to receive one or more electrical cables, which are sealed in water-tight relationship by the module and electrically coupled therein, is provided with a thin electrostatic shield that surrounds a middle portion of the passageway. The electrostatic shield is in the form of a relatively thin coating of electrically conductive elastomeric material. The coating can be formed by either a dip-forming type of process or, by a transfer process in which the electrostatic shielding material is first coated on a mandrel and then transferred from the mandrel to the inner surface of the module passageway, when the module housing is molded around the mandrel.
