A sealing body for a cable sleeve for an optical fiber cable is disclosed. The sealing body has a central, cylindrical sealing body segment. The central, cylindrical sealing body segment has, on an outer casing surface, a plurality of cutouts distributed over the circumference thereof, in each case one cylinder-segment-like sealing body segment being capable of being inserted into each of the cutouts of the central sealing body segment, and in each case one cable insertion opening for receiving and individually sealing off in each case one single cable being formed between the central sealing body segment and each cylinder-segment-like sealing body segment. Each of the cylinder-segment-like sealing body segment has a gel-like sealing element, which can be compressed individually independently of the sealing elements of other cylinder-segment-like sealing body segments in order to individually seal off the cable inserted into the respective cable insertion opening.

Sealing body for a cable sleeve

A sealing body for a cable sleeve, in which a compensation element is embodied as an elastomer element that is inlaid or embedded in the gel-like sealing element is disclosed. The compensation element, by means of which the alterations in the material behavior of the gel-like sealing element which occur in use can be compensated, is embodied as an elastomer element inlaid in the gel-like sealing element.

An apparatus for restraining fiber optic cables in the region of a sealing body of a cable sleeve, namely within an interior delimited by the cable sleeve is disclosed. The apparatus has a fitting part which is capable of being fastened on the sealing body of the cable sleeve, and which has a plurality of slide parts acting on the fitting part. Each slide part is used for individually restraining a single fiber optic cable and is capable of being moved in terms of its position relative to the fitting part within predetermined limits for the purpose of matching said slide part to a cable diameter of the respective fiber optic cable to be restrained. Guide parts act on the slide parts, with each guide part being used for individually restraining a central element of the fiber optic cable to be restrained on the corresponding slide part and being capable of being moved in terms of its position relative to the slide part within predetermined limits for the purpose of aligning said slide part centrally with respect to the central element of the respective fiber optic cable to be restrained.
