PURPOSE: A wrap type cable closure end seal is provided for using in sealing the area at the end of a closure, or terminal, through which cables are positioned, and sealing the area about the cables to restrict moisture or other contamination from entering the closure. CONSTITUTION: An end seal(15) for splice closures or for terminals including a body having a core portion(20) and an extended tail portion of a flexible resilient material. The core(20) portion has an outer periphery and openings(24) extending through the core. The openings(24) communicate with the outer periphery. A tail portion(22) is integral with and extends from the core periphery to be wrapped about the core and the cables to be placed in the openings. A sealant strip extends around the cables and between the abutting peripheral surface of the core and the wrapped tail portion(22). The strip is responsive to electrical or electromagnetic stimulation for heating the sealant strip and causing the strip to bond with adjacent contact surfaces of the cable and the body.
