Abstract
A seal is provided to seal the area between a cable containing optic fibers and the terminal end of a conduit through which the cable runs. The seal consists of a resilient gasket and a supporting structure and a cam. The seal assembly, encompassing the cable, is inserted into the terminal end of a conduit that houses the cable. Actuation of a cam compresses a gasket into sealing contact with the cable and with the conduit, thereby sealing the terminal end of the conduit from entry of contaminants.
