ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber cable splice closure has a base member and a cover mated therewith. The cover is extended to accommodate stacking large numbers of splice trays or splice holders so that the coverall capacity of the closure is increased over prior art structures. The extended cover has a plurality of longitudinal and transverse strengthening ribs molded integrally with the top and side walls of the cover. For increased resistance to outside forces, the top wall is bowed and strengthened and supported by the ribs both above and below the wall. In a second embodiment, the side walls are also bowed, as are the strengthening ribs.
