Sealant gel for a telecommunication enclosure

A sealant gel for a telecommunication enclosure, comprising the following formulation:

• a part A comprising 100 parts of an MDI prepolymer;
• a part B comprising:
• i) 100 parts hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene resin
• ii) between 80 and 90 parts polyether polyol having a molecular weight (MW) of about 2000;
• iii) between 1 and 5 parts butene diol;
• iv) between 100 and 300 parts diisodecylphthalate;
• v) between 0.5 and 1 part anti-oxidant;
• vi) between 0.1 and 0.2 part carbon black;
• vii) between 0.5 and 1 part tin catalyst;
• viii) 1 part moisture absorber;
• and
• wherein part A and part B are combined 1A:(4 to 5)B by weight mixing ratio.

A telecommunication enclosure for environmentally sealing and terminating at least one end portion of at least one cable, comprising:

• a housing having a central axis, an upper portion having an inner wall, and a lower portion, wherein the lower portion defines an interior region configured to receive the at least one cable end portion;
• upper and lower substantially parallel plates arranged in the housing upper region perpendicular to the central axis and configured to define in combination with the housing inner wall a sealant chamber adjacent the interior region and that contains a sealant gel, the upper and lower plates having at least one pair of corresponding apertures that allow for the at least one end portion to be inserted through the sealant chamber interior and the sealant gel contained therein when placing the at least one cable end portion into the interior region;
• and
• wherein the sealant gel is formulated from a first part A comprising an MDI prepolymer, and a second part B comprising a polybutadiene-based polyol, and a polyether polyol, and a butene diol, and wherein parts A and B are combined 1A:(4.0 to 5.0)B by weight-mixing ratio.
