A unitary cable closure for telecommunication cables includes a tubular housing having a seamless top that provides a weather-tight enclosure for telecommunication cable splices and repair openings. The closure is hinged along a top edge so that its bottom edges can be swung open to expose the interior of the closure. The closure is suspended from a support strand by hanger brackets that are also of hinged construction so that the closure can be opened along its hinges without obstruction. The hanger brackets are adapted to permit adjustment of the vertical spacing between the closure and the support strand. The opposing bottom edges of the closure are permanently interlocked in a first embodiment and releasably interlocked in a second. The opposite ends of the closure may be cut off to adapt it to cables of progressively larger diameter and to adapt it to receive a second cable as well. The closure includes a termination port through which access to the cable conductors can be obtained. The closure also includes a cover plate which encloses the termination port. In one embodiment of the closure for termination between the cable and a subscriber, the cover plate can be removed and a terminal block panel having a lid removably mounted within the closure may be releasably suspended from the closure by its lid when service work is being performed. In a second terminal embodiment of the closure the terminal block panel attaches directly below the termination port allowing access to the cable when service work is being performed and at the completion of the work the cover plate can be reattached.
