A ready-axis cable closure capable of enclosing a connection to a cable and also providing for a seal for a wire or wires entering the closure apart from the connection to the cable, said closure comprising: (a) a closure body that can surround a connection; and (b) a seal capable of sealing between the body and the wire/wires leaving the body, the closure body having a first part that may be fixed relative to the cable and a second part that is slideably fixed relative to the first part and can be slid from a first position where the first enclosure environmentally is capable of sealing the connection and the wire to a second position where it is supported by the first part and where it allows access to the connection and any wire entering the closure, at least a portion of the closure body is substantially cylindrical and the sliding motion of the second part is rotational about an axis of the cylinder portion of the closure body. A cable closure an outlet for a conductor, said outlet being slot-shaped and having a portion nearer its opening of narrower width and a portion further from the opening of greater width so that a conductor, substantially rectangular or oval in cross-section, can be laterally inserted into the outlet in the closure and after rotation cannot be laterally removed.
