ABSTRACT:
A portable, lightweight apparatus for moving a splice body with respect to a cable includes a first clamp member for engaging the cable, a second clamp member for engaging the splice body and a mechanism for moving the first clamp member and the second clamp member with respect to one another. The moving mechanism can include at least one gear rack extending between the first and second clamp members, and a pinion gear operably engageable with the rack. Sheathing can be provided for the rack between the first clamp member and the second clamp member to prevent entry of foreign material into teeth of the rack. In addition, an enclosure can be provided for housing a portion of the elongated rack extending outwardly beyond the first or second clamp members to prevent entry of foreign material into the teeth of the rack.
