| 1. A termination for connecting one end of a superconductive cable to a conventional electrical conductor that is not superconductive,
said end being made up of at least one resistively-conductive central support of substantially cylindrical shape, of a superconductor
disposed around the support, and of an insulating sheath surrounding the superconductor, this end of the cable being stripped
to reveal the superconductor, and a length of the stripped superconductor being removed so as to reveal the central support,
said termination comprising:
a metal sleeve made up of two successive portions that are adjacent end to end,
a first portion being engaged around the visible portion of the central support; and
a second portion being soldered around the visible portion of the superconductor.
