Communication Markets Division 3M™ Better Buried Closures Buried Compound Compression/Gravity Fill Closure The 3M™ Better Buried Closure’s versatile design meets most cable size requirements for buried inline, tap, butt splices, cable and sheath repair. Eight standard sizes and five end cap configurations allow you to protect buried splices of almost any practical length and diameter. Better buried closures use compound compression or a gravity fill method of encapsulating and protecting the cable splice. Better Buried Closures use either 3M™ MS2™ 25-pair Splicing Module or 3M™ Scotchlok™ Connector UR2/UR. 3M™ Better Buried Closure Product Features Better Buried End Caps Tapered end caps can be trimmed and slit for exact cable size required. Single, double and triple entry styles are available dependent on size. When adding a branch cable to an existing cable, grooved end caps can be easily split in the field and quickly released with Locking “H” strips provided in each kit. 3M Scotchcast™ Strain Relief Bars Strain relief bars can be installed on a simple or double sheath cable to protect the splice from electrical interference and damage from the cable tension. The aluminum strain relief bar assemble includes hose clamps and an insulation sleeve. 3M Scotchcast Spacer Web 4430 Spacer web is designed to protect splice connectors by positioning them away from the closure walls. Better coverage is achieved because compound flows around the complete bundle. • Protects splice components • Enhanced coverage Hose Clamps Hose clamps secure the closure body and end caps. • Corrosion resistant • Easy to install • Re-enterable 3M™ Better Buried Closures Product Specifications Closure End Cap Port Diameters Closure Size Maximum Splice Openings Single Entry (Max.)
