The inventive cable sealing device further provides a quick, inexpensive, reliable, and includes gripping and sealing for cable ingress to and egress from an enclosure.
Claims19
A cable sealing device for providing a seal at an opening in an enclosure, said sealing device comprising a generally cylindrical body having a first part and a second part, said body having a cable channel defined longitudinally therethrough and through which a cable may be routed and within which is defined a cable grip, said first part of said body being sized and shaped to pass through the opening and said second part of said body having an outer surface and being sized and shaped so that said outer surface at least partially contacts an inner part of the opening so as to secure said cable sealing device in the opening and so as compress said cable grip about the cable to grip the cable and seal said cable channel.
A sealing system for an enclosure comprising:
- an enclosure end cap for sealing an opening in the enclosure, said end cap including a cable port having an inner surface;
- and
- a sealing device through which a cable may be routed and for providing a seal of said cable port, said sealing device comprising:
- a generally cylindrical body having a first part and a second part, said body having a cable channel defined longitudinally therethrough and through which a cable may be routed and within which is defined a cable grip, said first part of said body being sized and shaped to pass through said cable port and said second part of said body having an outer surface and being sized and shaped so that said outer surface at least partially contacts said inner surface of said cable port so as to secure said sealing device in said cable port and so as to compress said cable grip about the cable to grip the cable and seal said cable channel.
A cable sealing device for providing a seal at an opening in an enclosure, said sealing device comprising a generally cylindrical body having a cable channel defined therethrough and through which a cable may be routed and within which is defined a cable grip, said body at least partially contacting an inner part of the opening in the enclosure so as to secure said cable sealing device in the opening and so as to compress said cable grip about the cable to grip the cable and seal said cable channel, wherein said cable grip comprises a plurality of ribs extending substantially circumferentially about said cable channel, a gap being defined between adjacent ones of said plurality of ribs, and a compressible medium disposed in said gap defined between adjacent ones of said plurality of ribs, said compressible medium surroundingly sealing the cable within said cable channel when said sealing device is secured within the opening.
