ABSTRACT:
A buried cable splice closure comprising a rigid plastic outer shell having an opening at least at one end through which cables may extend into the closure has a lower chamber adjacent each end opening for support of portions of cables extending into the closure with the cable jacket and any cable shield terminating in the lower chamber. An upper chamber is spaced longitudinally of the closure from each end opening so as to have a lower chamber between each end opening and the upper chamber and the upper chamber has a cable splice support area spaced a distance above each lower chamber when the splice closure is in an upright position. A cable passageway within the outer shell communicates between each lower chamber and the cable splice support area in the upper chamber and means are provided for permitting introduction of an encapsulant into at least each lower chamber.
