Abstract
A frame is provided for relieving stress on a cable splice. The frame includes a pair of rails spaced apart to accommodate a splice enclosure. At least one mounting plate is coupled to spaces of the rails for detachably mounting the splice enclosure. A strain relief is coupled to the rails for receiving a cable and isolating the weight of the cable from a splice of the cable disposed within the splice enclosure.
