Abstract
An apparatus and method for preventing intrusion into a splice closure includes a pair of end wall plates, a first housing plate and a second housing plate affixed to an outer casing of the splice closure. Each end wall plate includes two or more end wall segments made of a formable metal and having a plurality of finger-shaped extensions that are bendable to conform to the contour of an end wall of the splice closure and around any cable(s) entering or exiting the splice closure. The first housing plate is made of a metal and pre-formed to conform to the contour of a first housing half of the outer casing of the splice closure. The second housing plate is made of a metal and pre-formed to conform to the contour of a second housing half of the outer casing of the splice closure. The first and second housing plates may be separable along a centerline of symmetry for use with an extended-length splice closure.
