Abstract
A housing for an electrical cable splice for handling two or more cables in end-to-end and/or side-by-side arrangement. First and second shells with central sections and opposed end sections, with one shell sliding over the other to form a main compartment for the splices and a sealant or encapsulating material. The end sections of one shell are provided with channels for receiving cables, with a groove in the wall of each channel. The other shell includes means sliding in the channels for defining entrance passages for the cable, and projecting tabs which slide in the grooves and close the entrance passages. The projecting tabs are selectively broken away as determined by the number and location of cables, to provide open entrance passages.
