What recommendations does anyone have for a buried cable splice kit? 25 pair, 22 gauge filled cable. The last time I did this was _many_ years ago with GTE. I'm sure the products have changed a little by now. Thanks again. Jim

Their BB2X24 will handle your application, but you'll need to order encapsulant as a separate item. If you want an all-in-one kit, the second best option is their 8983-4462. It allows a splice up to 50 pair and includes the encapsulant in bags. Ed Vaughn, MBSWWYPBX

If they pulled up the underground with a backhoe you will need two splice kits. Then start hand digging. What happens on a dig up wreaks pairs in both directions. Each mess needs to cut back to be evaluated.
