Abstract
A cable splice enclosure made up of: (1) a splice enclosure tube having two compressible ends with annular ledges inside the compressible ends; (2) first and second compressible grommets adapted to be inserted into the compressible ends; and (3) two outer shells adapted to be fastened to said first and second compressible ends of the cable splice enclosure tube. The outer shells have an inclined outer end portion that: (1) holds the compressible grommets in abutted relation to the annular ledges; and (2) compresses the compressible ends, which, in turn, radially compresses the grommets to form a watertight seal around the cables to be spliced. In a different embodiment, which is suitable for enclosing butt-splices, the splice enclosure tube has an open compressible end and a closed end. The open compressible end of the butt-splice enclosure tube uses the same parts and works the same as both ends of the splice tube extender.
