Abstract: A splice holder (24) having first channels (70) having upper and lower portions (80,82) separated by a constriction (76) with each portion adapted to hold a respective single-fiber splice coupling (84) . Second channels (90) have a large diameter adapted to hold a multi-fiber mass fusion splice coupling (94) used with ribbon cable. Both the first and second channels (70,90) having constrictions along their entrances of less width than a splice coupling (84,94) to be inserted thereinto. Splice holder (24) may be adhered to a bottom wall (14) of a splice tray (10).

Abstract: An enclosure (10) for junctions of telephone service wires (18,19) and a stub cable (16) includes a rear panel member (20) and a front cover (100) adapted to be slid downwardly to expose the interior of the enclosure for wire interconnection and servicing. Wire-receiving openings (40,42) of the enclosure are organized in linear arrays and are sealed by a pair of elastomeric strips (80,90;44,46) held against the enclosure wall by bracket members (50,48), with one strip (90) having small diameter holes (92) for just fitting around a wire, and the other (80) having slits (82) which remain closed if no wire is inserted into a particular opening, with both the small diameter holes and slits aligned between the enclosure openings and openings (52) through the bracket members.
