Tactical flexible fibre optic splice enclosure and method of installation

A method of splicing a fibre optic cable having a central strength member and optical fibres comprising the steps of:

• providing a pair of cable bonding clamps, one mounted at each end of a flexible central tensile member, and connecting each of said cable bonding clamps to a central strength member of the fibre optic cable being spliced;
• arranging at least a portion of the optical fibres being spliced, in a generally helical orientation about the flexible central tensile member;
• positioning a flexible helical wrapping about said optical fibres and said flexible central tensile member, said flexible central tensile member and said flexible helical wrapping defining a splice enclosure to accommodate said optical fibres being spliced;
• and
• positioning an outer protective jacket about said flexible helical wrapping and said cable bonding clamps.
