Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a cable sealing device () for providing a seal around a communications cable (). The cable sealing device () includes a cable seal arrangement () positioned between first and second compression plates (F,R). The cable sealing device () also includes an actuator () for compressing the first and second compression plates (F,R) together to deform the cable sealing arrangement () such that the cable sealing arrangement () is adapted to form a seal about a cable () routed through the cable sealing device (). The actuator includes a cam lever () pivotally movable between an actuated position (P) and a non-actuated position (P). The actuator also includes a spring () for transferring load between the cam lever () and the first and second compression plates (F,R). The spring () is pre-loaded when the cam lever () is in the non-actuated position (P) (FIG.) with a pre-load equal to at least 50 percent of a total load applied through the spring () when the cam lever) is in the actuated position (P).
