Abstract
There is disclosed herein an enclosure for a cable splice that rigidly fixes two or more spliced cables and moisture proofs the splice and exposed cable ends. A pair of mating plug members grasp the cable ends and are then partially immersed in a body of sealant contained in a vial. The plug members include a cap portion which engages the vial and keeps the plug firmly in place. The cap portion may include extended arms which engage threads provided on the vial before the plug members fully close the vial. These arms give mechanical leverage for drawing the plug members into a fully closed position in the vial.
