ABSTRACT:
A closure device for receiving a fiber optic cable includes an enclosure defining a splice chamber configured to accommodate splices to the plurality of optical fibers. The enclosure has a clamp receiving section therein. The closure device further includes a clamping device configured to concurrently secure the remaining portion of the jacket and the strength member at a same clamp interface of the clamping device. The clamping device is configured to be removably inserted into the clamp receiving section of the enclosure. The clamp receiving section is configured to fixedly limit movement of the clamping device relative to the enclosure when the clamping device is installed therein to secure the remaining portion of the jacket and the strength member secured in the clamping device to the enclosure.
