ABSTRACT:
A central strength member anchor for use, for example, in a splice closure, for anchoring the central strength member of a cable entrant into the closure has a planar member having at least one upstanding leg at one end thereof. The distal end of the leg has clamping a strength member receiving member having a bore into which the strength member is to be inserted. The receiving member has clamping arrangement, such as one or more set screws, for clamping the strength member in the bore. The height of the leg is such that the bore in the receiving member is substantially axially aligned with the cable strength member. The planar member has locating holes therein for locating the anchor in the closure, and side walls depending from the planar member have slots for mounting the anchor in the enclosure. The side walls also have at least one slit therein and the planar member is scored so that a portion of the anchor member may be broken off to shorten it.
