1. Cable having a jacket and a splice region and a closure for the splice region, the closure having a plastic moulding around the cable jacket with avoidance of fusion between materials of the moulding and the jacket and a fluid-tight seal between the plastic moulding and the jacket, the seal comprising:

  • a layer of compressibly deformable material surrounding and in contact with the jacket;

    at least one layer of resilient tape material wrapped around the deformable layer in a stretched resilient condition circumferentially of the jacket to apply a radially inwards compressive force upon the deformable material and hold it in intimate contact with the jacket surface to form a first annular seal region; and

    the deformable layer having an annular portion which directly engages the plastic moulding, said portion fused to the plastic moulding to form a second annular seal region.
