Abstract: A fiberoptic splice closure comprises a first component having a sealing surface, a second component having an abutting sealing surface and at least one substantially planar splice tray configured to be removably coupled to the first component such that the splice tray extends substantially perpendicular to the sealing surface of the first component. The fiberoptic closure is configured to store the slack fibers around the perimeter of the splice tray.
Abstract: A protective splice case for communication cables includes two half tubular members and two cylindrical end seals. A composite material, in the form of a non-tacky, resilient and yieldable sealant non-releasably secured to an adhesive, is positioned between the two half members, with the adhesive contacting one of the two half members and the non-tacky sealant facing the other of the two half members. Also, the composite is positioned between the end seals and the half members, with the adhesive contacting the outer surfaces of the end seals and the non-tacky sealant facing the interior surfaces of the two half members. The result is a splice case which keeps the extraneous material such as water, dust, dirt and snow from reaching the interior of the splice case, and is yet reusable and reenterable for repairs and inspection.
Abstract: The splice closure includes a tubular protective case having front and back covers. The left and right ends of the back cover are configured to form integrally therewith left rear and right rear half end seals, which are adapted to mate with separately-formed, left front and right front half end seals. Left front and right front half end seals are formed to fit inside the left and right ends of the front cover. The separately-formed, left front half end seal is secured to the integrally-formed, left rear half end seal, with a first set of cables clamped between the mating surfaces thereof. Likewise, the separately-formed, right front half end seal is secured to the integrally-formed, right rear half end seal, with a second set of cables clamped between the mating surfaces thereof. The two cables are spliced together and the front cover is bolted in place over the back cover/spliced cables/end seal assembly to form the protective case.
