    Abstract: A cable joints usually are used to connect, high, medium and low voltage cables. The type for joint cable, lengths, shapes, materials different according to the number of cores, voltage and insulation of cable to be jointed. So, in this study the effect of sleeve length, pollution, humidity and the temperature on the performance of the cable joint is presented. Splicing cable in this study done by using conventional method by using a hydraulic press to form a joint. The dissipation factor (tan δ ) and index dielectric losses are carried out for joint cables at different length sleeve to give an idea for a good cable insulation conditions and at different current between (10-90 A) with current steps of (20 A). The results test showed that the temperature for the joint cable significantly affect ed the dissipation factor (tan δ) and index dielectric losses.
