<p>A splice (100) for connecting two segments of optical fiber cable comprises an elongated housing (110) having a first end (101) with a first opening (102), a second end (103) with a second opening (104), and a central cavity extending between the first end (101) and the second end (103). A clamping mechanism (106) is disposed in the central cavity. The clamping mechanism comprises a platform (121) defining a fiber-receiving channel (107) open to both of the first and second openings (102, 104), a first member (108) adjacent to the fiber-receiving channel (107) and having a first cam surface (108a), and a second member (120) having a second cam surface (120a). The first and second cam surfaces (108a, 120a) cooperate such that relative movement of the first and second members (108, 120) toward the first end (101) causes the first member (108) to move toward the fiber-receiving channel (107). An actuator (109) is arranged to cause relative movement of the first and second members (108, 120) toward the first end (101). A first buffer crimp (111) is disposed at the first opening (102), and a second buffer crimp (112) is disposed at the second opening (104).</p> |
