Abstract
A re-enterable closure assembly for enclosing an elongate substrate such as a telephone or power cable, has an outer sleeve, preferably heat recoverable, and an inner liner to protect the cable against heat and mechanical damage. The liner has two major parts, a support and a disposable layer, thus allowing the outer sleeve to be removed, for repair etc, without damaging the liner. This could not easily be acheived in a one piece liner since a bond generally must be formed between the liner and the outer sleeve to prevent wicking of moisture vapour.
