Abstract
A housing for a fiber optic splice protects the splice from the external to environment. Two optical fibers may be butt-coupled in a connector, which is then coated with a hard resin material. The hard resin material is then overcoated with a resilient material to provide shock protection and strain relief. The connector may be placed in a housing, which is covered and sealed to form a water-tight seal between the cover and the housing.
