A pair of elongated, rigid torque bars join the end plugs and support at least one but preferably, two, rotatably attached resilient clips, the clips for, securing appropriate elastomeric fiber splices. A substantially cylindrical housing encloses the end plugs, the torque bars, and the clips. The housing exhibits an interior surface having threaded portions at opposite ends thereof, complementary to threaded portions of a pair of end caps threaded thereinto.
