An apparatus and method for accessing and/or repairing a select subset of fibers in an ADSS fiber optic cable. The apparatus includes a housing extending from a first end to a second end. A first fiber optic splice tray is positioned within the housing closer to the first end than to the second end. A second fiber optic splice tray is positioned within the housing and spaced apart from the first splice tray. A tension member extends through the housing and includes a first mechanical connector near the first end and a second mechanical connector near the second end. The connectors provide an attachment location for deadends at either end for transferring tension from the undamaged portion of the ADSS fiber optic cable.
