Abstract: A cable closure is provided with at least two housing parts which, in use, are brought together, and when brought together provide a cavity for containing sealing material, through which one or more cables may extend into the closure. The cable closure also includes a sealing material which is contained in the cavity upon bringing the housing parts together, and, which seals between the cable (s) and the housing part(s); and at least one resilient member which, in use, is contained in the cavity. When the housing parts are brought together, in use, the resilient member is compressed, and thus causes the resilient member, by its resilience, to apply a compressive force to the sealing material.
