Abstract: A splice case for telecommunications cables is provided which is completely wraparound. Two rigid half shells (6) surround a wraparound impermeable sheet (4) to cover the central part of the splice. The impermeable sheet (4) provides sealing, and the half-shells (6) mechanical restraint. Wraparound end parts (12) are also provided and a sealing material (10) seals the impermeable sheet (4) to the half shells (6) and/or end-parts (12), so that the seal thus formed in not put into peel when the splice is pressurized.

Abstract: A seal between an object such as a cable, cable splice or branch-off, and a surface such as a recoverable sleeve by means of a flexible envelope containing a void-filling composition. The void-filling composition undergoes a change from a low viscosity on installation, which allows the flexible envelope to conform to the object, to a high viscosity after installation, which gives mechanical strength to the seal. Deformation of the flexible envelope on installation may be brought about by installation of the recoverable sleeve or other surrounding surface.

Abstract: A branch-off between elongate substrates, such as cables, is enclosed by a recoverable sleeve. A clip is positioned over an edge portion of the conduits for the substrates. The clip comprises a tubular body having circumferentially spaced apart slits, within which the end portions of the sleeve is received.

Abstract: A branch-off of at least two substrates leaving an end of a recovered sleeve is effected using a heat activatable sealant, and a thermally conductive member which has a fin-shaped protruberance by means of which heat can be conducted into the crutch region between the substrates to activate the sealant. The thermally conductive member can also function to urge together circumferentially spaced portions of the sleeve to define conduits for the substrates. This urging function can be supplemented or carried out totally by a separate clip.

Abstract: An assembly for sealing and protection of cable splices comprising a recoverable, preferably heat-recoverable outer sleeve 5 surrounding a cable or other body 1; a thermoplastic support layer 7 surrounding the body 1 and within the sleeve 5; and a heat barrier layer, preferably foamed, between the support 7 and the sleeve 5, to prevent thermal deformation of the support 7 during heat recovery of the sleeve or during other heat treatment 5.
