Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a sealed cable splice area is disclosed. The cable splice area is wrapped with an open cell spacer web. An adhesively coated liner is separately wrapped around the cable and the spacer web to form a pocket around the splice area. The pocket is filled with a cable encapsulating material which flows completely around the electrical conductors of the splice area. The filled pocket is then sealably wrapped to seal the cable splice area.
