Abstract
An optical fiber splice case for joining composite cables having optical fibers in a tube surrounded by wire strands. More particularly the splice case includes a body having a chamber for receiving spliced together optical fibers and separate cable gripping assemblies which grip the wire strands and which are secured to the body. The cable gripping assemblies include elongated jaws which collectively form a cylindrical member which is compressed down around the wire strands to withstand high tensile forces.
