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.



No, some heatshrink does.

No it doesn't, that pdf is for heatshrinking down onto cable and connectors,
not stopping moisture getting along the 0.8mm to 1mm diameter cores of
cables

Thinking of farnell/cpc in the UK.
Who else here watches the "Gadget Show" ?
Lead in or lead out graphic of CPC testing? one of their ICs by zapping a
discharge over the pins
