Abstract: A protective, tamper-resistant cover for an elevated CATV distribution tap that is mounted on an elevated CATV signal line comprises top and bottom sections that fit over and under the tap and are joined together at a junction between the sections to enclose the tap. The cover includes side openings for the CATV signal cable and for local signal cables that permit the sections to be fitted on and removed from the tap without disconnecting the signal cables from the tap. These openings are remote from the terminal connectors for these cables so as to impair access to the terminal connectors. The top and bottom sections are releasably fastened together by concealed, tamper-resistant fasteners that extend between the sections. The fasteners fit through rounded ears that resist breakage.
