According to embodiments of the present invention, a cable sealing assembly for providing an environmental seal about a cable includes a housing, a flowable cable sealant and a compression feature. The housing includes first and second housing parts. The first housing part defines a cable passage to receive a cable having a lengthwise cable axis. The cable sealant is disposed in the cable passage. The compression feature forms at least a part of the second housing part and is movable in an installation direction between a ready position and an installed position. The compression feature is shaped and configured to force the cable sealant to flow about the cable in a direction transverse to the cable axis to circumferentially surround a portion of the cable when the compression feature is moved from the ready position to the installed position.

Cable enclosure assemblies and methods for using the same

A cable enclosure for use with a cable having a lengthwise cable axis, an outer jacket and a transmission media within the outer jacket, includes a housing assembly and a strain relief structure on the housing assembly. The housing assembly defines a chamber and a cable port. The housing assembly is configured to receive the cable. The strain relief structure includes a pair of opposed engagement structures defining a cable slot therebetween. At least one of the engagement structures includes a blade edge flanking the cable slot. The cable enclosure is configured to receive the cable such that the cable extends through the cable port and into the chamber and a portion of the cable is received in the cable slot such that the at least one blade edge cuts into the outer jacket to resist withdrawal of the cable from the chamber through the cable port.
