Abstract
An equipment box, in particular a splice box, including a first portion having an opening which is closed off in sealed manner by a second portion in abutment against a gasket positioned at the edge of the opening, and also a slot in the zone in which the second portion abuts against the first portion, the slot providing access for a cable via a configuration enabling the cable to be inserted transversely. A neck carried by the first portion surrounds said slot except in the direction in which the slot opens out at the edge of the opening. A sealing member formed by a sleeve is provided with a laterally projecting element providing abutment continuity for the linear gasket at the slot. The sleeve as positioned around the cable in a neck is subjected to the action of a presser device which is mounted at the end of the neck so as to compress the sleeve and a gasket fitted around the cable in the sleeve.
