CA 2636096

An splice enclosure for supporting a splice between the ends of a pair of fiber optic drop cables includes at least one longitudinally-extending flexible support member extending across the splice, a cover member which covers the splice and which overlaps the jackets of the two cables, and at least one collar. Each collar has a central aperture through which the buffer tube of a cable can be passed, at least one aperture for receiving a strength member of one of the cables, and at least one aperture for receiving an end of a support member. The support members preferably have similar or identical dimensions, composition and flexibility as the strength members of the cables so as to substantially preserve the flexibility of the cable across the splice. Also disclosed are kits for forming enclosures for optical fiber splices and methods for enclosing optical fiber splices.
