Abstract
According to the present disclosure, a sealing member for providing a seal around a cable is provided. The sealing member comprises a resiliently deformable material and has a passage along its axis for receiving a cable. The sealing member comprises a first end, a second end and an intermediate portion, the first end disposed at the opposite end of the sealing member from the second end along the axis and the intermediate portion disposed between the first end and the second end. The intermediate portion comprises a circumferential groove disposed on its outer surface such that when a compressing force is applied to the first end and the second end along the axis of the sealing member the intermediate portion deforms to cause the passage to narrow.
