Forced encapsulation means

摘要: A forced encapsulation system that can be advantageously used to encapsulate cable splices, e.g., multiconductor communications cables. Containment means are formed around a substrate comprising part of at least one cable, and secured the thereby forming an enclosure into which liquid encapsulant introduced in pressurized maintained pressure above ambient pressure. In preferred embodiment, containment comprise bag situ from elastomer sheet sealed sheaths, with reenforcing outer surrounding bag. Pressurizing leads thorough penetration splice work ends intimate contact between cured surfaces within enclosure, including does not form adhesive bond, resulting improved gasketing conductors, reducing possibility water-caused damage.
