ABSTRACT:
A cable block for telecommunications cable includes first and second half shell members which together form a substantially cylindrical stepped longitudinal bore therethrough, portions of the bore being sealingly engaged against progressive stripped outer parts of a stripped part of the cable so as to sealingly engage against each intermediate layer thereof which could form a water channel between its adjacent cable layer. Metal pins are also provided which extend into the channel and electrically connect to a ground shield of the cable for dissipating electrical currents during current surges as can occur when lightening strikes. The cable block is useable for terminating an end of a cable of an intermediate section thereof at which access to the telecommunications conduction media is required without breaking the conduction media.
