ABSTRACT:
A cable splice enclosure (10) including a pair of cover members (12,14 ) joined along a flexible hinge (62,64) and rotatable together about the hinge to enclose a cable splice (150) and secure to each other with latches along both side edges (16,18;92,94 ). Sealant material (120) disposed within central regions (32,34) of both covers environmentally seals the surfaces of the splice connection (154,158,160) upon full closure. Embossments (44,46 ) on both sides of the cable-receiving channels (20,22) in associated pairs (40,42,48) proximate the cable exits include resilient flange portions (52,54) cooperate to press into the cable insulation upon full closure to define a strain relief. The enclosure (200) may be used to splice aerially suspended cable (202) by grooves (208) between the hinge (216) and the latches (218) proximate the hinge (216), receiving thereinto a length of suspension wire (206) spliced to suspension wire (204) thus securing enclosure (200) to cable (202).
