Abstract

A closure (20) which may be used temporarily in the restoration of service to an optical fiber cable (50) which has been damaged includes a base (22) and a cover (24) which include mating longitudinal edge portions.
The base and the cover are secured together with longitudinally extending C-clamps (97-97) which are moved slidably to engage the mating longitudinal edge portions of the base and the cover. Cables to be spliced enter the closure through openings in compliant end blocks (67,67).
Modules (40,40) are disposed within the closure and hold connective devices used to make connective arrangements between optical fibers of the cables.
The closure is easy to assembly is lightweight and may be reused.
