Abstract
A splice closure for optical fiber cables has an outer two pan shell, an interior longitudinally extending spine member held within the shell and cable sheath gripping members mounted on the ends of the spine member. A splice tray is removably mounted on the spine member intermediate its ends, and a plurality of splice holders are stacked on the splice tray. Each splice holder has grooves for containing the individual splices and means for affixing the individual splices to the holder. A splice tray cover contains means for applying compressive force to the stack of holders to hold them in place on the splice tray.
