Abstract
A cable jointing enclosure is disclosed, which includes a one-piece rectangular housing formed by rotational molding. The housing has an opening in its top. A metal cover plate acts to seal over the opening. The metal cover plate acts as a firm support for equipment inside the housing, as well as acting as a heat-sink for heat generated by electrical equipment. The metal plate also shields the environment from radio frequencies emitted from within the housing. The enclosure includes a plurality of outwardly-extending tubular projections through which cables can pass into the enclosure.
