A housing for splicing a trunk cable to a plurality of tip cables has a detachable end cap for receiving the tip cables. The detachable end cap is constructed from a pair of attached molded sections having flat spaced parallel surfaces between which is positioned a rubber sealing member. A plurality of holes extend through the two sections and the sealing member for receiving the tip cables. The first section includes a plurality of integrally molded conically shaped knock-out members positioned in the holes of the first section and projecting through aligned holes in the sealing member and the second section. The knock-out members form a plug that substantially fills the associated holes of the sealing member. The knock-out members are removed from selected holes at the time of installation for receiving the tip cables into the housing.
