Thermocouple Type-K - Glass Braid Insulated (Bare Wire)

I ordered this thermocouple and I got the thing shown on the picture.Where are the red and yellow connections out of the thermal sleeve? None!One side should have the exposed junction (without thermal sleeve). As you can see on the picture the sleeve is on both sides?!I can't believe that I waited a 5 days and spent about $20 for this completely useless piece of wire. :(

Works great. End was not as shown.
