A sealing module for a cable or a pipe, comprising at least one compressible body and a conductor. The conductor is arranged to extend from the groove to the outer surface, such that the conductor electrically contacts the cable or pipe received in the groove and forms a conductive path to the outer surface. The conductor comprises a plurality of through apertures and conducting portions surrounding the apertures, wherein the apertures are arranged in longitudinal rows along the conductor, and wherein the apertures are displaced in the longitudinal direction in relation to the apertures of adjacent rows of apertures. Disclosed is also a transit system comprising one or more sealing modules. Methods of manufacturing the sealing module is also disclosed together with the use of an expanded metal mesh or a perforated metal sheet as a conductor in a sealing module.
