Abstract
The present disclosure describes an optical fiber splice closure for joining two fiber optic cables. The optical fiber splice closure comprises a strain relief assembly that securely holds the two fiber optic cables being connected, and an enclosure that houses the strain relief assembly. The configuration of the strain relief assembly allows for securing the two fiber optic cables in a compact space, thus permitting a compact enclosure of the optical fiber splice closure, while also providing quick and easy installation in the field. A method of joining fiber optic cables using the optical fiber splice closure is also disclosed. The optical fiber splice closure and ease of joining also facilitates repairing damaged fiber optic cable. A method of repairing existing fiber optic cable is disclosed.
