ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber cable splice closure assembly includes a base member and a mating cover which, when assembled, form a hollow splice closure with openings at each end. One or more cable gripping members are located within the closure adjacent the open ends for gripping cables passing through the open ends, and a cable strength member is located adjacent to, and aligned with, the cable gripping member. One or more elongated pedestals extend from the floor of the base member, each having latching means on the distal end thereof. A splice tray adapter plate is latched to the distal end of the pedestal or pedestals, thereby creating a slack fiber storage space below the plate. The adapter plate can pivotally hold two or more standard splice trays on one side thereof, or a discrete or mass splice tray on the reverse side thereof. A race track grommet member having insert receiving members on each end thereof form a sealing means for the closure when the base member and the cover member are clamped together.
