Cable-end water sealing device for water-blocking non-water-blocked cable

A cable comprising:

• a non-water-blocked cable including at least two cable subcomponents and an outer jacket, a section of the at least two cable subcomponents extending from the outer jacket;
• and
• a receptacle defining an interior cavity and including a stop member, a free end of the outer jacket of the cable abutting against the stop member upon insertion of the cable into the cavity, such that the outer jacket of the cable does not extend past the stop member, limiting the cable's insertion depth into the interior cavity of the receptacle, the receptacle further including an end wall at a first end thereof, the end wall defining an aperture for allowing a portion of a cable subcomponent of the cable to extend through the end wall,
• wherein the interior cavity of the receptacle defines a cable subcomponent space disposed between the end wall and the stop member, the cable subcomponent space sized to receive two or more cable subcomponents, and a cable space disposed between the stop member and a second end of the receptacle, wherein the portion of the cable subcomponent section is disposed in the cable subcomponent space, and the outer jacket is disposed in the cable space.

A method for water-blocking a non-water-blocked cable, the method comprising:

• providing a non-water-blocked cable including at least two cable subcomponents and an outer jacket;
• providing a receptacle;
• inserting the cable into one end of the receptacle so that a first portion of the at least two cable subcomponents are disposed in a cable subcomponent interior space of the receptacle, a second portion of the at least two cable subcomponents extend through a corresponding at least two apertures in an end wall of the receptacle, and a free end the outer jacket is disposed in a cable interior space of the receptacle and abutting against a stop member upon insertion of the cable into the cable interior space, such that the outer jacket of the cable does not extend past the stop member;
• and
• delivering, through a port in the receptacle, a water-blocking compound,
• wherein the cable comprises an EMI shield arranged between the at least two cable subcomponents and the outer jacket, and wherein the method further comprises the steps of:
• folding a free end of the EMI shield over the outer jacket prior to inserting the cable into the receptacle, and
• folding the free end of the EMI shield over an exterior of the receptacle after the cable has been inserted into the receptacle.
