end-caps Explanation: DBI dutter is a version of the Norwegian word duppeditter or dubbeditter, which in English is contraption, doodad, doohickey, gadget, gizmo, thingamabob, widget, or thingamajig. However, there is a proper word for stopping ends on a tube in English, which seems to be what you are looking for here. That word is end-caps. So you can translate the word as is, or the intention of the word, unless this is to be considered a proper noun because the company took a regular noun and abbreviated it and made it into a product name, which might be the case in this situation.

DBI-caps Explanation: These are caps manufactured by the company DBI Plastics, and - I suppose as part of clever marketing - they name them 'DBI-dutter'. - I suggest this should be reflected in the translation as well, hence my suggestion. The company produces a broad range of protective caps and plugs. Hope this helps :-) Example sentence(s):
