Abstract

A cable splice enclosure assembly for enclosing and storing cable splices includes a housing member having a closed end and an open end which defines a storage chamber therebetween. An end plate is received in the open end. The end plate is axially spaced from the closed end. The end plate includes an end plate body and a plurality of selectively removable cable caps for accessing individual cables passing through openings defined by the end plate. A plurality of sealing walls are selectively positionable in the openings for blocking the openings when not being used to receive the cables in the openings. A piercable grommet is disposed in a further opening found in the end plate for selectively receiving a ground or other electrical wire therethrough to seal the wire with the end plate.
