Potted Wire--No Definition Anywhere?

Hello,

This is outside my field, and I can't seem to find info anywhere. Does anybody have a definition or description for what a potted wire is? Thanks for the assistance.

potted wire:: a wire that has been submerged in a big lump of glue or sealant of some kind. Typically used to seal the point where the wire enters a device. Specialized glues are sold as "potting compound"

not to be confused with potted meat, which is one of the nastiest things on the planet

Thanks, Michael. I'll bite (pun intended)--what is potted meat?

The original "Spam", the ground "pork" product. The thing Monty Python was actually singing about in the now famous skit.
