Abstract
A cable sleeve for the structured storage and handling of optical waveguides guided in optical waveguide cables is disclosed. The cable sleeve comprises a covering body, which defines an interior. The cable sleeve also comprises a sealing body comprising two dimensionally stable end pieces and a compressible gel element arranged between the end pieces. The sealing body is adapted to be inserted into an opening of the covering body and is operable for feeding optical waveguide cables into the interior and/or for feeding optical waveguide cables out of the interior. The sealing body bears against a stop with an inner one of the two dimensionally stable end pieces. A locking body can be screwed to an outer one of the two dimensionally stable end pieces of the sealing body while compressing the gel element. At least one compensation element is operable for storing the force applied via the locking body and exerting a compression force onto the gel element.
