Abstract
A system has a surface intended to separate two chambers within the system. The surface has an aperture for allowing passage of at least one communication conduit. A shroud is positioned on the surface at the aperture, and has at least two portions defining a central opening to allow the communication conduit to pass through the aperture and shroud. The two portions of shroud have mating clamp ears in contact with each other. Securement members tighten the clamp ears against each other to provide a seal at an end of the shroud remote from the surface.

A system comprising:
- a surface intended to separate two chambers within the system, said surface having an aperture for allowing passage of at least one communication conduit;
- a shroud positioned on said surface at said aperture, said shroud having at least two portions defining a central opening to allow said communication conduit to pass through said aperture and said shroud, and said two portions of said shroud having mating clamp ears in contact with each other, securement members to tighten said clamp ears against each other to provide a seal at an end of said shroud remote from said surface.
A gas turbine engine comprising:
- a compressor, a combustor, a turbine, and a firewall separating a first chamber housing at least one of said compressor, combustor and said turbine from a chamber housing a controller for the gas turbine engine, said firewall having an aperture for allowing passage of at least one communication conduit;
- and
- a shroud positioned on said firewall at said aperture, said shroud having at least two portions defining a central opening to allow said communication conduit to pass through said aperture and said shroud, and said two portions of said shroud having mating clamp ears in contact with each other, securement members to tighten said clamp ears against each other to provide a seal at an end of said shroud remote from said firewall.
