CONSTITUTION:The conductors 11 of a pair of insulated cables 10 disposed with the end parts being butted are connected to each other through a conductor connecting sleeve, and then a crosslinking resin tape is wound on the conductor connecting part 12 over the cable insulators 13 on the both sides to form a spindle mold insulator 14. The outer circumference of the mold insulator 14 is covered with a thermally shrinkable tube 15 having good gas permeability which is preliminarily fitted over the cable insulators 13 on the both sides, and heated to shrink the tube, and this is inserted into a crosslinking furnace 17 having heating heaters 16 mounted on their upper and lower inner circumferential surfaces. The air in the crosslinking furnace 17 is substituted by a high pressure inert gas, and the mold insulator 14 is heated and crosslinked while being pressurized by the inert gas.
