ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an optical cable closure of which outer casing is made by joining two half cases on a partition plane and can be made smaller, with no redundant space produced in either of the half cases. A plurality of cable leading holes 4 are provided on only one end of a two-partition type outer casing 1 comprising half cases 1A and 1B of an identical configuration, with the cable leading holes 4 being arranged side by side and divided into halves by a partition plane 5 of the outer casing 1. Plugged into each cable leading hole 4 and supported therein is an end plate 6 which fits around the circumference of the optical cable 3 and seals the cable leading hole 4. The end plate 6 has a cable passing hole 6a disposed offset from the center line and is aligned in the cable leading hole 4 so that the offset cable passing hole 6a is disposed closer to the bottom side than the partition plane inside one half case 1A. The chamber 2A in the half case 1A wherein the offset cable passing hole 6a exists is made to serve as a cable leading chamber and a linkage frame housing chamber. The chamber 2B in the other half case 1B is made to serve as a redundancy housing case chamber.
