Abstract
An end cap (30) for sealing an end of a closure about a cable member directed therein. The end cap (30) includes a wall member (32) having a first surface (34), an exterior surface and an outer circumferential edge. A longitudinal port (40) extends through the wall member (32) from the first surface to the exterior surface. The port (40) has a transverse cross-sectional shape defined by first and second lobed portions (42, 44) joined at a waist (46), the cross-sectional shape of the port configured for receiving a cable assembly having a corresponding transverse cross-section.
