Abstract
A wraparound cable splice case comprises a hollow, relatively rigid, cylindrical shell having at least one longitudinal split along its length and a plastic sheet bonded to its outer surface. A closure member comprises an extension of the plastic sheet extending beyond one of the longitudinal edges along the split. The splice case can be opened along the longitudinal split, wrapped around a cable splice, then closed to encircle the splice. The closure member is coated on its inner surface with a heat activatable adhesive so that when the case is closed around the splice and heat is applied, the adhesive bonds the closure member to the plastic sheet covering the shell. The splice case is particularly suitable for protecting a splice in armored power cable.
