A cable sealing and cable anchoring system has a primary sealant assembly that includes a primary volume of sealant that defines primary through-ports. The primary sealant assembly includes a primary actuator for pressurizing the primary volume of sealant. The system also has a secondary cable tube that mounts within one of the primary cable through-ports and a secondary cable sealant assembly that mounts within a first end of the secondary cable tube. The secondary cable sealant assembly includes a secondary sealant volume that defines secondary cable through-ports. The secondary cable sealant assembly also includes a secondary actuator for pressurizing the secondary sealant volume. The system further has a cable anchoring assembly for anchoring a strength member of a secondary cable to the secondary cable tube. The cable anchoring assembly is supported by the secondary cable tube adjacent the second end of the secondary cable tube.

A compression-expandable plug provides lateral expansion of an elastomeric gasket to seal around mini-tubes within an optical fiber duct, the mini-tubes containing optical fibers. The compression-expandable plug includes an elastomeric gasket having longitudinal passages configured to be positioned around optical-fiber-containing mini-tubes in an optical fiber duct and means for longitudinally compressing the gasket thereby laterally expanding it to exert sealing pressure around the mini-tubes and between the mini-tubes and the duct. A means for limiting the longitudinal compression applied to the gasket to limit the sealing pressure to a level selected to limit damage to the optical fibers may be provided.
