Abstract: A closure for a cable splice is disclosed which comprises a main sleeve and two end structures. One end structure is secured to the sleeve by means of a locking ring screwed onto a cap of the end structure. The sleeve has an internal flange and the cap has an external flange which lies adjacent the flange of the sleeve. Engagement between the flanges prevents the end structure being withdrawn from the sleeve. The end structure is connected to the sleeve by means of a split clamping ring which is held in place by a tightening ring. Once the ring has been loosened and slid back, and the clamping ring and tightening ring removed, the sleeve can be slid back over the cable to provide access to the splice.
