To avoid condensation creeping, via capillary action, between copper
conductor and the sleeving from an open end into otherwise sealed
section.
How to make or what sort of term or construction to look for in cable
specs?

Probably better to just sleeve/seal the ends if and when required. There
are lots of heatshrink products available for this.


Gareth.



But heatshrink leaves a capilliary path.
If there was a way of making sure the conductor stayed reasonably axial then
a few inch length of hotmelt glue around the conductor and then
remelted/compressed in the process of contracting heatshrink sleeving around
that, would probably be ok. After the first few inches bond to normal
sleeving.
It is just a matter of avoiding damp migration into the start of the cable.
