Abstract
Transmission cable enclosure with a resiliently flexible cable sealing member within an inlet passage of a housing of the enclosure. The sealing member surrounds the cable when installed and a device is provided to apply a constant compressive force axially upon the sealing member. This constant force resiliently deforms the sealing member inwards to continuously seal against the cable irrespective of ambient temperature and pressure conditions. Also provided is a device for gripping the cable close to the sealing member to prevent axial movement of the cable at this location. The arrangement is suitable for passage of a single length or two closely positioned lengths of cable passing through the inlet passage.
