ENCLOSURE FOR SPLICED MULTICONDUCTOR CABLE

摘要

An enclosure (400, 500) having a pair of covers fastenable together to close about and seal a cable splice between end portions of a pair of multiconductor cables. At least one routing channel (418 or 420; 528) is provided at a first end (406, 506) and a single routing channel (424; 536) at the second end (408, 508), with a splice-receiving region (454) provided adjacent inner ends of the routing channels. Axially- and laterally-staggered outermost and innermost embossments are associated with each routing channel to establish an interruption in a linear path between the cable exits and a grounding region for the multiconductor shielded cables, so that the cables must be substantially bent to course around the embossments in serpentine fashion, defining cable strain relief. A partitioned region (552) in enclosure (500) accommodates receipt of a spliced connection of a pair of single-conductor coaxial cables into a linear routing channel bypassing the grounding region for multiconductor shielded cables.
