Abstract
Cable splice and closure arrangement to cover a cable region which is devoid of sheath and jacket. At each side of the devoid region, the cable has a strap member encircling it and piercing means of the strap member protrude through the jacket and into the sheath at spaced positions around the cable. An outwardly projecting means of each strap member is intimately embedded in a moulded plastic end of a combined closure and tensile strength means. This combined means may be an integral moulding having the two ends and a portion between the ends and which bridges the devoid region. Alternatively, it may comprise individual moulded plastic ends with tensile means such as steel rods extending between the embedded in the ends. The invention also includes a strain relief device for inclusion in the splice and closure arrangement.
