ABSTRACT:
A splice housing assembly for joining together at least two fiber optic cables. The splice housing assembly has a housing adapted to create a water impervious seal around both a splicing chamber and at least two fiber optic cables that lead into the splicing chamber though the housing. Within the splicing chamber, the various fiber optic cables are joined together via a grounding block or by a direct optical splice. The housing provides structural integrity, electrical insulation and water tightness to the splice, yet the housing can be selectively opened and closed. As a result, any splice can be made and tested, then repaired or adjusted before the housing is permanently sealed with an encapsulation compound.
