Abstract: A cable splicing rack has a base 1, arms 13a and 13b having slots 16, removable brackets 20 and caps 48. Four side frame members 6 pivotally connected together at their extremities with a through bolt 11 and nut 12 assembly compose the base 1. The base 1 is adaptable to the contour of the terrain. The arms 13a and 13b are pivotally connected to the base 1 so that they may be folded toward each other and become parallel to each other within a perimeter 19 of the base 1. The caps 48 are removably placeable on the arms 13a and 13b for the safety of a lineman and to prevent damage to a cable 49 undergoing splicing operations. The brackets 20 are provided with a latch 28 to secure the brackets 20 to the arms 13a and 13b.
