An enclosure (20) includes a sealing unit (28, 128, 228, 428) including a sealant arrangement (32, 132, 232, 432) for defining and sealing cable ports (30, 430) and for providing a peripheral seal between a housing (22) and the sealing unit (28, 128, 228, 428). An actuation arrangement (31, 131, 231) pressurizes the sealant arrangement (32, 132, 232, 432). An indicator arrangement (40, 140, 240, 440) indicates to a user that an actuator (35a, 35b, 235, 235, 435) has been sufficiently moved to fully actuate the sealant arrangement (32, 132, 232, 432). Example indicator arrangements (40, 140, 240, 440) include indicia visible through viewing windows (45a, 45b, 433) and/or aligning structures (171, 138, 239, 273). Example indicator arrangements can include structure for accounting for sealant shrinkage over time.
