Abstract
A cable assembly includes a sleeve body of plastic material; a protective tube extending in the sleeve body; a cable element disposed within the protective tube; and a transverse port provided in the wall of the protective tube. The plastic material extends through the transverse port into the protective tube and cross-sectionally seals the protective tube water tight in a region of the transverse port.
