A CABLE SPLICE BOX THAT UTILIZES DIFFERENT WAYS TO CARRY OUT WATERPROOFING OF THE MAIN CABLE

摘要

596692 The present invention relates to a communication cable splice box (401) that has different ways to waterproof the main cable. The cable splice box comprises a protective cover (402) and at least a cable entry end (403). The cable entry end (403) has a plurality of hollow cylindrical columns. At least one of the hollow cylindrical columns (404) allows passage of the cable to be waterproofed by heat shrink waterproofing (not shown). At least two other hollow tubes (405A and 405B) allow passage of a cable to be waterproofed by an elastic rubber shrinkable pipe (not shown). The combination of waterproofing means avoids problems associated with heat shrinking neighbouring tubes and inadvertently softening or loosening previously applied heat shrink.
