ABSTRACT:
A reenterable splice closure and method of making and applying the same is disclosed having a pair of mating housings with an internal rigid telescoping support collar located at the seam between the two housings, and a first heat shrinkable sleeve surrounding and sealably shrunk down over the mating ends of the housings sealing the seam and extending the end of one housing for heat shrinking down onto cables leading from a splice enclosed in the housing. The enclosure can be reopened by cutting the splice along a line over the seam, and after the closure has been reassembled with the housings again in mating position, a new heat shrinkable sleeve is applied down over the cut in the first shrinkable sleeve.
