ABSTRACT:
A unitary cable closure is disclosed, for enclosing a communications cable suspended from a support strand. The closure includes a tubular housing having a pair of mating edges separated by an access slot, the edges being manually fastened together in mating engagement after passing the cable through the slot. The closure further includes a rib integrally formed in the wall of the tubular housing. The closure also includes a termination port in the side of the tubular housing. The terminal port includes a rectangular frame and lid. The closure also includes a metal hanger bracket having a lower, horizontal portion fastened to the inside upper surface of the tubular housing at the rib and a vertical portion projecting upwardly through the upper surface of the rib of the tubular housing, for fastening to the support strand. In one embodiment, the tubular housing includes a first edge of the pair including a first hook projecting from the wall and having an upwardly projecting barb, an upper guard projecting from the wall and extending above the barb of the hook, and a first lower guard projecting from the wall and extending below the hook. A second edge of the pair includes a second hook projecting from the wall and has a downwardly projecting barb and a second lower guard projecting from the wall and extending below the second hook. The first and second hooks are thereby protected by both the first and the second lower guards when the two edges are joined.
