Abstract A closure (20) for optical fiber cables each including at least one optical fiber (38) and a metallic shield (47) enclosed in a jacket (48) includes a splice tray (22), a bonding and gripping assembly (26) and mating cover portions (27, 29). The splice tray includes provisions (24) on one side thereof for holding an optical fiber splice such as one which may be made by a rotary splice and a raceway (51) for routing the optical fiber to the splice. Metallic conductors (45-45), if included in the cables, may be spliced on an opposite side of the splice tray. The bonding and gripping assembly is attached to the splice tray and includes opposed projecting portions (77- 77) and ferrules (71-71). Each cable to be spliced is routed to the bonding and gripping assembly to cause each projecting portion to be inserted into a cable end between the shield and core thereof to establish an electrical connection with the shield and to cooperate with the associated ferrule to grip the cable end portion. The mating cover portions have an oval shape in transverse cross section and are moved over the splice tray and secured together.
