Abstract
Embodiments provide a splice closure and a method for installing an optical cable. The splice closure includes a closure body, a cable accommodating tray, a nut component, an abutting member, and an elastic member. The abutting member is located between an optical cable and the nut component, and the elastic member is located between the optical cable and an installation tube. When the nut component is screwed to an externally threaded section of the installation tube by using threads of an internally threaded section, the abutting member abuts the elastic member, so that the elastic member elastically deforms under an abutting effect of the abutting member, so as to cause an inner circumferential wall of the elastic member that elastically deforms to abut the optical cable, and an outer circumferential wall of the elastic member that elastically deforms to abut an inner circumferential wall of the installation tube.
