I believe you may be referring to "gel-filled connectors" or "waterproof wire connectors" - please correct me if I'm wrong. Gel-filled connectors are used to create a waterproof seal when joining two or more Cable Jelly.
They are typically used in outdoor applications, such as wiring for outdoor lighting or irrigation systems, where moisture or water is present.
To use gel-filled connectors, follow these steps:
Strip the wires: First, strip about 1 inch of insulation from each wire that you will be joining together. Make sure to expose enough of the wire so that you can twist the exposed ends together securely.
Twist the wires: Once the wires are stripped, twist the exposed ends together firmly. You want to make sure that the wires are tightly joined together so that there is no chance of them coming loose.
Prepare the connector: Next, prepare the gel-filled connector. Gel-filled connectors typically have two or more ports for wires to be inserted into. To prepare the connector, unscrew the top of the connector and remove the sealant packet inside.
Insert the wires: Insert the twisted wires into the connector ports. Make sure that each wire is inserted all the way into the port so that it makes contact with the metal contact inside the connector.
Apply the sealant: Once the wires are inserted into the connector, squeeze the gel sealant from the packet into the connector until it is completely filled. Make sure that the sealant covers all of the exposed wire and that there are no air bubbles inside the connector.
Seal the connector: Finally, screw the top of the connector back on and make sure that it is tight. Gel-filled connectors are typically designed to be waterproof and weather-resistant, so once the connector is sealed, you should be able to use it in outdoor applications without worry.
In summary, gel-filled connectors are a useful tool for creating waterproof connections between electrical wires. By following these steps, you can easily use gel-filled connectors to join wires together in outdoor applications.
