SPLICE HOLDER
First Claim
1. A splice holder comprising:
- a base member having a top and a bottom, first and second ends and a length and a longitudinal centerline between said first and second ends, and first and second sides and a width between said first and second sides;
a plurality of high wall pairs on said base member top, each of said plurality of high wall pairs comprising first and second wall members spaced by a first distance at said base member, a spacing between adjacent ones of said high wall pairs at said base member being less than said first distance;
a first plurality of low wall pairs on said base member top extending along a first side of said plurality of high wall pairs, each of said first plurality of low walls pairs comprising third and fourth wall members spaced by a second distance at said base member, a spacing between adjacent ones of said first plurality of low wall pairs at said base member being less than said second distance; and
a second plurality of low wall pairs on said base member top extending along a second side of said plurality of high wall pairs opposite said first plurality of low wall pairs, each of said second plurality of low walls pairs comprising fifth and sixth wall members spaced by a third distance at said base member, a spacing between adjacent ones of said second plurality of low wall pairs at said base member being less than said third distance,wherein a height of said first plurality of low wall pairs and a height of said second plurality of low wall pairs is less than a height of said plurality of high wall pairs.

Abstract
A splice holder includes a base member and a plurality of high wall pairs on top of the base member each having first and second wall members spaced by a first distance, and adjacent ones of the high wall pairs are spaced by a distance less than the first distance. A first plurality of low wall pairs project from the base member on one side of the high wall pairs, and a second plurality of low wall pairs project from the base member on the other side. The first and second plurality of low wall pairs are shorter than the high wall pairs. The splice holder is configured to support a first level of splices running through the low wall pairs and high wall pairs in between and a second level of splices running through the high wall pair and supported on top of two low wall pairs.
