electrical tape
Conductive path blocker
Electrical tape is a flexible, insulating adhesive tape used to wrap and protect electrical wires and connections.
It's typically made of vinyl or rubber and stretches slightly to conform to irregular surfaces.
The tape prevents short circuits and protects against moisture: Wrap the splice with electrical tape.
Black is standard, though colored varieties help identify different circuits.
