ABSTRACT:
A cable splice closure apparatus comprising a rigid, corrosion-resistant outer structure having outer seal, for sealing about the outer structure and cables passing through the outerseal. The outer seal is formed of a pair of non-metallic end caps coupled with an inner rigid compression plate having a sandwiched elastomeric compression member therebetween. The end caps and inner compression plate being linked by bolts which when tightened urge the caps and plate together and squeeze the compressing member so as to seal about the outer structure and cables passing through the compression member. An inner splice chamber has an anchoring and sealing assembly constrained within a hoop, which anchors the cables and seals the cable entrances into the chamber. The anchoring and sealing assembly of the inner splice chamber is independent from a lid for the splice chamber which permits access to contents of splice chamber without disturbing the anchoring means. The hoop operably prevents the splice sealing chamber from exerting pressure against the lid of the splice chamber, so as to prevent the lid from inadvertently being dislodged from a sealing position thereof with respect to the splice chamber.
