The first and second cover members are configured to releasably engage each other and form a cavity for enclosing the cable splice. The cavity is filled with a sealant material for electrically insulating the cable splice and protecting the cable splice from the environment. The cable splice is attached to the fixation member and the cover members are closed around the fixation member and attached splice.
