摘要： An environmentally sealed splice closure (20) for buried telecommunications cables (32) and splices (33) includes a base (22a and b) having ports (31a and b) for receiving the telecommunications cables (32) therethrough. A cap (25) is received on the base (22) to form a cavity (50) within the splice closure (20). The cavity (50) is filled with a gel sealant (45 and 47). A dome (55) on the end of the cap (25) opposite the base (22) accommodates volumetric and pressure changes within the closure (20).
