Abstract:
A reusable enclosure for containing a plurality of spliced junctions in conductors of multi-conductor cable in which each of the spliced junctions is secured within a wire nut, comprising:a housing defining a generally longitudinal passage therethrough suited for receiving a multi-conductor cable, wherein said housing defines an opening at each opposite end of the passage and a chamber intermediate the opposite ends, suited for containing a plurality of spliced junctions in the conductors of the multi-conductor cable; andwherein said housing defines a plurality of wire nut reception recesses in communication with said intermediate chamber, each recess elongated along an axis extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal dimension of the passage and offset to a side of the passage, whereby each recess is suited to receive a wire nut securing a spliced junction of a conductor in a multi-conductor cable received in the passage of the housing and to retain the received wire nut and spliced junction in a position extending transversely with respect to the generally longitudinal passage through the housing.
