Abstract
An arrangement for sealing the inlet area of a substrate extending lengthwise in a housing, preferably a communications cable in a sleeve, has the following features: a) a tube (3) in the form of an elastomer hyperboloid is placed on a cable and has plastic moldings (4,5) at each of its ends firmly attached to the tube (3); b) the elastomer tube (3) is under lengthwise-axial pressure, so that the central portion of the tube (3) is firmly pressed against the substrate (2) surface, c) the tube (3) with its attached moldings (4,5) is located in a hollow body (9), which maintains the lengthwise-axial pressure; and d) the hollow body (9) is attached to the inlet area of the housing (1) and is sealed with respect to the inlet opening.
