Enclosure with sealant for spliced coaxial cables

An enclosure for a splice connection of a pair of cables, comprising:

• first and second cover members, each defining a cable-receiving channel portion coursing between cable exits at opposed end faces and parallel to opposed side edges and through a central region of the respective cover member, and said cover members including complementary mating faces adapted to abut upon closure together of said first and second cover members about a cable splice, and
• at least one of said first and second cover members including embossments spaced apart across said cable-receiving channel in at least one associated pair proximate each cable exit and standing vertically from the inside surface of the at least one of said first and second cover members, each said embossment including a resilient flange portion extending inwardly of the proximate cable exit toward said central region of the respective cover member and inwardly into said cable-receiving channel, such that said resilient flange portions of said embossments of each said pair define a spacing less than a cable diameter,
• whereby each cable extends from a cable splice positioned in the central regions of the cover members and outwardly between the at least one pair of embossments of each cover member and through an associated cable exit, upon closure of the cover members about the cable splice with their mating faces abuttingly engaging, and the resilient flange portions of the embossments of the at least one pair thereof press into the insulative jacket of the cable and upon relatively outward strain on the cable the resilient flange portions tend to be rotated even more tightly into the cable jacket, defining an effective strain relief.
