Gel sealing device

The present invention relates to a gel sealing device for sealing a passageway of longitudinal elements through an opening. The gel sealing device provides a seal section through which the elongation element passes, wherein the gel sealing device comprises a gel seal block having an upper flange and a casing collar with a support section placed between them to support the gel ring located between the flanges in the direction of elongation of the longitudinal portions, forming a section seal.

[0002] Such a gel sealing device is known, for example, from WO97 / 42693 according to the preamble of claim 1. 1 and WO 2005/027290 A1, which finds particular application in the field of telecommunications technology, which the present invention also preferably applies to.

[0003] A known gel sealing device is housed in a lower body that can be connected to an upper body that forms a cable organizing zone and is provided with a collapsible gel ring containing two semicircular segments of the gel ring that abut against each other in the inner radial region of the gel device. using a common seal section through which many cables pass. Conventionally, many cables comprise at least one cable routed from the supplier and at least one cable extending to the customer, e.g. a flat, wherein said supplier cable and customer cable are bonded in the organizing zone provided in the upper body region in which the anastomosis is sealed before the influence of the environment. Kabei suppliers denoting the main cable may comprise one or more transmission elements, such as optical fiber or metal wire, which are at least surrounded by an outer jacket protecting said element. The customer's cable typically includes a fiber optic or metal wire to bond with the associated main cable component in the upper body organizing area, wherein said fiber optic or metal wire is also protected by an outer jacket or tube such as e.g. used in fiber optic applications.

Typically, access to the housing and the gel sealing device takes place several times during the period of use for installing further cables individually at different times. Thus, the seal section through which the cables pass must be made available for insertion of further cables for installation. By accessing the sealing section, all cables passing through it are exposed and accessible. Accordingly, when installing further cables, special attention is required for already installed cables passing through the gel sealing device to prevent damage to these cables or the like.

The object of the present invention is to provide a gel sealing device for sealing the passageway of longitudinal elements through an opening, wherein the gel sealing device has improved cable access properties.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a gel sealing device as defined in claim 1. 1.

The present invention is based on the concept that a gel sealing device has a gel seal block comprising an inner gel ring and an outer gel ring shielding the inner gel ring in a radial direction, and comprising a first peripheral segment and at least one second peripheral segment adapted to detach. from the first peripheral segment to provide a separate available seal section. Disconnection in the sense of the present invention refers to the disconnection of the respective part and also its re-establishment after disconnection. Specifically, the at least one second peripheral segment is adapted to be repeatedly disconnected and connected to said first circumferential segment. The outer gel ring is made of a gel sealing material, widely known in cable housings used in the field of technical telecommunications technology. This gel sealing material is a highly viscous liquid that can be considered as a pseudoplastic or non-Newtonian fluid {cf. EP 0 426 658 B1 and EP 0 681 598 B1). In other words, the gel sealing material has the ability to be deformed as a negative pattern of the surface contours of the surrounding gel sealing material, in particular the upper and lower flanges and the housing body of the gel sealing device provided for contact with the gel sealing material to make the seal and support axially and a radially outer and inner gel ring of the gel ring. Furthermore, since the inner gel ring is also made of such a gel sealing material, a part of the plurality of elongated elements, which preferably comprises a plurality of cables extending between the outer gel ring and the inner gel ring, will be fully encapsulated, i.e. encapsulated in the circumferential direction through the gel material sealing. Accordingly, the gel sealing material will flow and be pressed against the contact surfaces provided in the housing for the gel sealing material, by applying a predetermined pressure to the gel sealing material, whereby a seal will be obtained between them. Said pressure may advantageously be achieved by imparting a larger size to the outer gel ring and / or the inner gel ring than the space provided by the gel sealing device to support the outer and inner gel rings, respectively. Alternatively or additionally, the gel sealing device is preferably adapted to compress the outer and inner gel rings with one another, preferably by moving at least the upper flange or bottom flange towards the second flange.

According to the invention, the outer gel ring is composed of at least two peripheral segments, in particular at least two separate peripheral segments, where at least two separate seal sections are provided that are separately available from each other by disconnecting at least one second peripheral segment from the first peripheral segment. Thus, a single elongated element or a plurality of elongated elements can be inserted into said exposed sealed section, where the remaining elongated element or many remaining elongate elements passing through the remaining seal section are still shielded by the first peripheral section and they can remain intact. In other words, you can manipulate the separate available seal section by inserting, removing, replacement or the like of an allocated elongated element or a plurality of assigned longitudinal members without affecting at least one remaining seal section still covering the element or elongate elements passing therethrough. As a result, the longitudinal elements provided in the seal section to which access is not intended need not be given special attention. In addition, it is possible to obtain a faster installation of further longitudinal elements at different times, as it is not necessary to take the time to deal with the elongated elements passing through the sealing section to which access is not intended. Preferably, since the present invention is preferably used in the field of telecommunications technology, the elongation element is a commonly known cable shielding the signal transmission element,

On the lower side, the upper flange 11 comprises a cylindrical round projection 11a having an external diameter smaller than the inner diameter defined by the bottoms of a plurality of passages 23. The circular projection 11 a protrudes from the lower side of the upper flange 11 towards the lower flange 12. The outer circumferential surface of the circular projection 11a provides the first part of the support section 11a, 12a, 12b formed between the upper and lower flanges

11, 12. The upper flange 11 comprises, on the lower side, i.e. on the side surrounded by the outer circumferential surface of the circular projection 11a, an annular recess 41 and, in the central axis, a spigot 17a extending from the lower side of the upper flange 11 towards the lower flange 12 and towards the supporting and leveling means for cables and tubes 15. The annular recess 41 is adapted to receive a free end of the annular projection 12b provided on the lower flange 12. Thus the recess 41 as well as the spigot 17a extend in the axial direction.

[0034] The lower flange 12 has the shape of a disc and comprises on the outer periphery a plurality of recesses forming a plurality of transitions 23 extending in the axial direction. On the upper side, the bottom flange 12 has a stepped circular projection 12a, 12b protruding from the upper side of the lower flange 12 in the axial direction. The outer diameter of the stepped circular projection 12a, 12b is smaller than the inner diameter defined by the bottoms of the many passages 23 formed in the outer circumference of the lower flange 12. The stepped circular projections 12a, 12b have a first section 12a attached to the upper side of the lower flange 12 and having an outside diameter greater than outer diameter of the second section 12b protruding from the upper side of the first section 12a.

[0035] The bottom flange 12 further comprises a hole in the central part that guides the pin member 17a formed by the top flange 11. On the upper side in the region between the annular second section 12b the lower flange 12 includes several plug protrusions 42 protruding from the other side of the lower flange 12 in axial direction. Said closure protrusions 42 cooperate with assigned recesses formed in the lower side of the upper flange 11 in the inner radial region defined by the annular recess 41. In particular, the trunnion protrusions 42 are received by respective recesses provided in the upper flange 11 in the assembled state of the gel seal block 5, as a result of which the recess portions and protrusions 42 form anti-twist means, which prevent the upper flange 11 from rotating relative to the lower flange 12 in the assembled condition. In addition, the bottom flange 12 and the upper flange 11 are movable relative to one another, and the annular second section 12b is fitted into the annular recess 41 of the upper flange 11.

The upper flange 11 and the lower flange 12 have on their opposite sides, on the axial extension of the passage 23, protruding flanges 24, 28 for guiding and aligning the cable and tube into and out of the seal section 22 formed between the inner gel ring 7 and the outer gel ring 6 , 10a. As said flaps 24,28 have a substantially uniform shape, and the flanges 24 provided in the lower flange 12 will be described in detail below, and the described configuration of the flanges 24 also relates in a corresponding manner to flaps 28 formed in the upper flange 11.

[0037] As shown in Figs. 2-3B, the bottom flange 12 includes, directly next to the passage 23 in its axial extension, on the upper side, conical hemispheric skirtings 24 having a large diameter lower side, fixed to the lower flange 12 and a small upper side. diameter, which is the free end. The diameter of the opening of said upper side with a small diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the tube 14 driven by the recess 24. The conical hemispheric skirt 28 formed in the upper flange 11 has a small lower side with an aperture diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the cable led through the tube 14 which ends in the section seals 22. In addition, the bottom flange 12 provides a recess on the radially inner side of the conical pellet skirt 24 for receiving the gel sealing material of the inner gel ring 7 in the assembled gel seal block 5. Consequently, the conical pellet skirt 24 is surrounded by the gel seal material of the inner gel ring 7 at least in the assembled gel seal block 5, where the inner gel ring 7 forms sealing lips on the axial end side. The bottom flange 12 further provides a support surface between adjacent conical half-shell vanishes 24 for radially supporting the lower ring 9, 10c. In other words, the bottom flange 12 comprises on the axial extension of the wall sections defining the passage 23 an axial projection forming a radial support surface which extends from the radial surface of said wall sections to the upper side. The surface formed by the wall sections on the upper side of the lower flange 11 and extending towards the radially outer side forms an axial support surface for the bottom ring 9, 10c. Thus, the bottom ring 9, 10c is supported by the bottom flange 12 in the axial and radial direction through the abovementioned support surfaces provided on the upper side of the passage defining sections 23. Furthermore, the bottom flange 12 supports the lower axial end side of the inner gel ring 7 through recesses,

[0038] As can be seen from Figs. 2, 4 and 5, the inner gel ring 7 is formed by at least one annular ring extending continuously in the circumferential direction and supported by the support section 11a, 12a, 12b formed by respectively a top flange 11 and a collar a lower outer ring 12. In contrast, the gel 6, the base ring 9, 10c and the upper ring 8, 10b comprise two peripheral segments. Specifically, the outer ring 6 gel, 10 has a first circumferential segment 6 and a second peripheral segment 10a which, in the assembled state form a continuous outer gel ring 6, 10a. The first circumferential segment is adapted to form the inner ring 7 of the gel section 22 to seal the ends of the plurality of tubes 14 carried by the passage 23 and extending the curl 24 to the sealing section 22.

[0039] The second peripheral segment 10a is adapted to form with the inner gel ring 7 of the seal section 22 at a location where the main cable 13 passes through it from the lower side to the upper side of the lower body 3. According to the segmented configuration of the outer gel ring 6, 10a the lower ring 9, 10c and the upper ring 8, 10b comprise respectively a first ring segment 10b, 10c and a second ring segment 8, 9. The first ring segment 10b, 10c and the second ring segment 8, 9 form in a assembled condition a continuously continuous upper ring 8 , 10b and a continuous bottom ring 9, 10c. Each of the upper ring 8, 10b and the lower ring 9, 10c has, on the inner peripheral side, a pattern of protruding curls which, with its shape and configuration, corresponds to protruding curls 24,

[0040] The lower ring 9, 10c and the upper ring 8, 10b further comprise a rim 26 extending over their outer periphery in the axial direction towards the outer gel ring 6, 10a for covering and thereby supporting the radially outer peripheral surface of the axially upper and lower ends. outer gel ring 6, 10a. Each of the upper and lower ring segments 8, 10b; 9, 10c is attached to the upper flange 11 and the lower flange 12 respectively. Specifically, the upper and lower second ring segments 8, 9 comprise fixing and equalizing means 37, 38 which are arranged in the end peripheral sections and the central perimeter section respectively upper and the second respectively. ring segment 8, 9.

[0041] The attachment and leveling means at each end circumferential side respectively of the upper and the second segment of the ring 8, 9 are composed of an opening receiving a plug which receives a pin 37 formed on the sides of the upper and lower flanges 11, 12 opposite to the upper and lower second respectively. a ring segment 8, 9, and which is formed on an axial extension of the wall section defining passageways 23. In this way, the upper and lower second ring segments 8, 9 can be fixed to the upper and lower flanges 11, 12, respectively, by mounting fixing and leveling means in the axial direction.

Furthermore, the upper first segment of the ring 10b and the lower first segment of the ring 10c have an identical shape. Accordingly, the upper first segment of the ring 10b will be described in detail below, wherein the described configuration of this upper first segment of the ring 10b also applies to the lower first segment of the ring 10c. As shown in Fig. 5, the upper first segment of the ring 10b has a circumferential length corresponding to the circumferential length of the second circumferential segment 10a of the outer gel ring 6, 10a. Thus, the upper first segment of the ring 10b, the second peripheral segment 10a and the lower first segment of the ring 10c form in a assembled state one part with common peripheral end sides extending in the axial direction. The upper first segment of the ring 10b includes, on the radially inner side, two tapered skirtings that cooperate with the conical hemispheres 24 formed in the upper flange 11 to form a conical cable channel for the main cable 13. The upper first ring segment 10b further comprises a flap 26 covering section radially upper axial end side of the second circumferential segment 10a. Moreover, the first segment of the ring 10b has two axial projections 35 on the upper side opposite to the periphery section 26, which two axial projections 35 are respectively arranged on the peripheral end sides of the upper first segment of the ring 10b as an axial extension of said circumferential end sides. Said two axial projections 35 form a latch with a hooking part at the free end, gripping the upper flange 11 from its circumferential side. The upper flange 11 provides on its outer perimeter a groove extending axially of the gel sealing device for receiving the latch in the built-in state (Figure 6). The groove ends on the upper side of the upper flange 11 in the recessed portion receiving the hook portion of the latch, and the latch it terminates at least in the plane formed by the upper surface of the upper flange 11. Accordingly, said two axial projections 35 have an axial length equal to or less than the thickness of the wall section defining the passage 23 in the axial direction The bottom first ring segment 10b further comprises radially internal to said two axial projections 35 on or near the peripheral edges of the end sides of the receiving opening 39,

As shown in FIG. 6, the segment of the bottom ring 9 comprises on its outer peripheral surface, in the area on the circumferential end sides, a groove 43 which cooperates with the latch 44 extending in a respective position from the lower flange 12 in the axial direction. The catch 44 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the wall section defining the passage 23 for the main cable 13, said catch 44 having a cross shape with a first portion extending in the axial direction forming a latch engaging the groove 43 and a second stretching part perpendicular to the above the first part in the axial direction and attached to the upper peripheral surface of the lower flange 12 to form the axis of rotation,

The pin element 17a is received by a rod 17 extending one end in the axial direction through said central hole of the support and leveling means for the cables and tubes 15, and thus in the hole provided on the lower side of the lower flange 12. The rod 17 is adapted to hold the pin element 17a for moving the upper flange 11 in the axial direction. Specifically, the pin element 17a has an external thread on the free end side received by the rod 17, which has an internal thread engaging said external thread. Thus, due to the rotation of the rod 17 in one circumferential direction, the top flange 11 is moved towards the bottom flange 12. By rotating the rod 17 in the opposite direction, the top flange 11 is moved towards the upper side, i.e. in the opposite direction to the bottom flange 12. The rod 17 comprises, at the free end, a hand grip formed by two opposite wings and an opening extending in a direction transverse to the axial direction. A further rod can be made through this transversal opening to form a level with which an increased rotational force can be applied to firmly compress the inner gel ring 7 and the outer gel ring 6, 10a. Furthermore, the rod 17 has, in the region at the end receiving the pin element 17a, abutment portions 17b abutting against the bottom circumferential surface of the projection extending from the lower side of the support and equalizing means for cables and tubes 15 and surrounding the aperture through which the pin element 17a is received. through rod 17. The stop portions 17b are formed of short bar projections extending radially from the rod 17 in opposite directions. Said pillar projections 17b have a radial length greater than the inner diameter of the projection 46 of the support and leveling means of the cables and tubes 15 extending from the lower side. The bar projections 17b abutting said annular protrusion 47 in the assembled state of the gel seal block 5 provide an abutment for axial thrust. exerted by the inner gel ring 7 and outer gel ring 6, 10a in a compressed state to prevent loosening of this compressed state.

The supporting and leveling means for the cables and tubes 15 comprise on their outer peripheral surface a plurality of channels holding the cables 27a, 27b, each extending in the axial direction on the extension of the passage 23 formed with the bottom flange 12. Configuration of the cable holding ducts and tubes 27a, 27b will be described below with reference to Figures 6 and 7.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 3A, the support and leveling means for the cables and tubes 15 comprise on the upper side a flange portion 15a for bearing against the flange 3a formed on the lower body 3 on the lower side. Specifically, the upper side of the support and leveling means for cables and tubes has an outer diameter substantially corresponding to the inner diameter of the inferior section of the lower body 3, while the circumferential surface of the support and leveling means for cables and tubes 15 extending from the flange 15a to the lower side has an external diameter equal to or smaller than the inner diameter formed by the bottom flange 3a of the lower body 3. Accordingly, the gel seal block 5 is supported by the lower body 3 in the axial direction through the flange 3a formed on the lower side of the lower body 3. The outer diameter of the gel sealing device is equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the lower section of the lower body 3 without the collar 3a. Thus, the gel seal block 5 is inserted axially into said lower body 3 from its upper side.

[0047] Figs. 6 and 7 show a side view and a rear-side perspective view of the support and leveling means for cables and tubes 15 attached to the lower body 3 by means of a flange 15a formed at the upper end of the support and leveling means of the cables and tubes 15, and supporting the lower side of the lower flange 12. The cable channels 27a, 27b extending in the axial direction on the extension of the passages 23 include a guiding channel 27b for guiding the main cable 13 in the axial direction and a channel guiding the tube 27a for guiding the tube 14 in the axial direction. The cable guide channel 27b has recesses for attaching the main cable 13 to the means for supporting and equalizing the cables and tubes 15 by means of clamps. The channel guiding the tube 27a has an upper section in the axial direction, a central section and a lower section, where the upper section is placed next to the lower flange 12, and the lower section is provided on the lower side of the support and leveling means for the cables and tubes 15. The central section has a width in the circumferential direction smaller than the upper and lower sections. In this way, the transition between the central section and the upper and lower sections provides a support surface 29 extending in the circumferential direction. The surface of the backrest 29 includes a recessed portion 40 extending in the axial direction (figure 7). The channels guiding the conduit 27a and the guiding channels 27b are separated from each other by sections of the walls 48 extending in the axial direction. The outer peripheral surface of said wall sections 48 forms an outer circumferential surface of the support and leveling means of the cables and tubes 15. The wall sections 48 include a recess 30 in the region of the upper and lower section of the guiding channel 27a formed in the circumferential direction on the circumferential width of the respective mentioned wall sections 48. The side surfaces of the wall sections 48 defining the guide passage of the tube 27a have a vertical recess 34 in the upper and lower region a channel section guiding the tube 27a in the region of the axial end sides. The vertical recessed portion 34 provides, on its outside and on the axial end side, which is located near the central portion of the tube guiding channel 27 a, abutment surfaces adapted to prevent axial and radial displacement of the element abutting against these abutment surfaces. As shown in particular in FIG. 7, the guide passage of the tube 27a has a wavy bottom surface, formed from two crests of fof extending in the axial direction in the direction of elongation of the channel guiding the tube 27a. The central wave channel, formed between the two crests of the waves, is adapted to guide the tube 14 in the axial direction and has a shape corresponding to the shape of the tube 14 placed therein guided there by.

[0048] Figs. 6 and 7 further show the clamp of the tube 16 in the form of a sliding carriage. Specifically, the tube clamp 16 has two sections for receiving a U-shaped tube with a central cavity section placed between them. The central recessed section is formed by elongated plugs of the U-shaped receiving section, where the U-section receiving tube sections and the central recessed section provide a common surface on both sides of the periphery of the tube clamp 16, the central recessed section constituting the connecting section has two circumferentially extending elastic bands, each protruding from one peripheral side to the opposite side of the circumferential tube clamp 16. One circumferentially extending elastic skirt is attached to one side of the circumferential tube clamp 16, the other is attached to the opposite side. The inclusions are adapted to extend towards the radially outer side by mounting the tube clamp 16 on the tube 14. Thus, the tube 14 inserted into the guiding channel 27a is pressed by said circumferentially extending flaps to the lower surface of the guiding channel tube 27a.

[0049] The tube clamp 16 has, on one axial end side, two axial projections 32 projecting from the U-shaped receiving section in the axial direction. The axial projections 32 are adapted to receive through a recess 40 formed in the surface of the backrest 29 at the transition between the central section and the lower and upper section of the guiding channel channel 27a. On the opposite axial end side of the pipe clamp 16, a second recessed part is formed, which has two connecting latches 33 extending from said recess part in the circumferential direction. As a result, the connecting tabs 33, viewed from the back side of the tube clamp 16 (see Fig. 7), extend from the elongated plugs of the U-shaped tube receiving section. The connecting latches 33 are adapted to receive through the vertical parts of the recess 34, formed in the upper and lower sections of the channel guiding the tube 27a. The tube clamp 16 further comprises a circumferential side protrusion 31 which extends from the U-shaped tube receiving section to the circumferential outside of the tube clamp 16. The circumferential side protrusion 31 is adapted to receive by a circumferential recess 30 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the channel defining sections carrying a tube 27a. In addition, the tube clamp 16 has a radially inwardly radial edge between the front edge facing the back surface 29 and a radially inner edge on the lower surface of the guide channel passage 27a. This rounded edge allows the tube clamp 16 to be pivotally inserted into the tube guide channel 27a,

[0050] By inserting at least one tube clamp 16 into the tube guide channel 27a, the tube 14 is axially mounted in at least one axial direction through the abutment surface 29 cooperating with the front edge of the tube clamp 16 from which the axial projection 32 protrudes, in the interaction of the vertical recess 34 receiving the connecting latches 33. By inserting two identical tube clamps 16 into the channel guiding channel 27a in the opposite manner as shown in FIG. 6, the tube 14 is axially fixed along opposing axial directions. Furthermore, the axial mounting of the tube 14 in said guiding channel tube 27a is obtained by the interaction of the circumferential side protrusion 31 received by the circumferential cavity 30.

[0051] Based on such attachment, the tube 14 can be reliably positioned and its end secured in the seal section 22 between the inner gel ring 7 and the outer gel ring 6, 10a, as shown in Figs. 3A and 3B.

[0052] Figures 8 and 9 show a further housing 100 receiving two gel sealing devices according to a preferred embodiment as described above. Routinely, the distal housing 100 may be adapted to receive different gel sealing devices. The further housing 100 includes a tubular upper body 101 to provide a common cable organizing zone for cables guided and sealed by gel sealing devices, wherein said cable organizing zone is provided between openings formed in the axial end sides of the upper body 101. Each axial end face of the upper body 101 can be connect to the lower body 102 in a similar manner as described with respect to the upper body 2 and lower body 3 of the housing 1 described above. Specifically, the lower body 102,

[0053] The method for introducing the main cable 13 and the tubes 14 into the housing 1 according to the above preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In the case where the housing 1 is preassembled, as shown in Fig. 1 A, the upper body 2 is removed from the lower body 3, which is then moved towards the lower side to reveal the block of the gel seal 5. Main cable 13 and tubes 14 intended for installation in the gel seal block 5 are inserted through the passageway of the bottom body 3. For ease of installation, the seal section 22 provided between the inner gel ring 7 and the outer gel ring 6, 10a is exposed for access by rotary movement of the rod 17 in one circumferential direction corresponding to the direction of dismissal, where the top flange 11 moves towards the upper side, i.e. in a direction opposite to the lower flange 12, lifting the internal gel ring 7 against the outer gel ring 6, 10a. Due to this axial displacement of the upper flange 11 in the opposite direction to the lower flange 12, fixing of the upper and lower first ring segments 10b, 10c to the second circumferential segment 10a inserted between them is released. Specifically, the opening 39 receiving the plug and the plug 37 are separated. Thus, the top and bottom first segments of the ring 10b, 10c can be removed from the block of the gel seal with the second circumferential segment 10a. Said release may be carried out with releasing the upper and lower second segments of the ring 8, 9 housing the first peripheral segment 6 with or without releasing them.

[0054] Insertion of the tube 14 may be performed in parallel with the introduction of the main cable 13 or separately. Alternatively or in addition to releasing the second circumferential segment 10a to expose the seal section 22, the upper and lower second ring segments 8, 9 with the first circumferential segment 6 disposed between them are deflected from the gel seal block 5 in the attached state of the upper and lower second ring segments 8, The tube 14 is inserted into the gel seal block 5 from the radially outer side in such a way that the end of the tube is placed in the groove on the inner gel ring 7 in the seal section 22. The end of the tube is aligned with the inner end side of the groove forming with the associated outer groove the gel ring 6, 10 a termination 49. Next, the tube 14 is inserted into the tube guiding channel 27a and fixed to it by the tube clamps 16. In the case where the cable is not guided through the tube 14 towards the upper side of the gel seal block 5, a dummy cable 20 can be inserted on the axially upper side of the gel seal block, wherein the top portion of the cable dummy 20 is held by the handle of the attachment element 18. Alternatively, the end of the tube can be closed by a tube plug. In the case where the cable is inserted through the tube 14 to the upper side of the gel seal block 5, the cable is connected to an assigned cable routed through the main cable 13 and the anastomosis is placed in the cable organizing area. If the connection of the cab led through the tube 14 is not to be performed during the installation of the cable,

After the introduction of the cab 13 and / or the tube 14, the sealing sections comprising the cable 13 and the tube are sealed by fitting the respective circumferential segments 6, 10a onto the gel seal block 5. The rod 17 is rotated in the circumferential direction corresponding to the assembly direction, thereby the upper flange 11 moves towards the bottom flange 12, for fixing the outer gel ring 6, 10a to the upper and lower rings 8, 10b; 9, 10c. Before or after this, the gel sealing device is inserted into the corridor of the lower body 3. In the case that the gel sealing device is inserted after rotation of the rod 17, the rod 17 is rotated further in the assembly direction to further compress the inner gel ring 7 and the outer ring gel 6, 10a, such that the perimeter of the outer gel ring 6, 10a is pressed against the inner circumference of the lower body 3 to obtain a seal. Then, the holder of the fixture 18 with the loop section holder 4 is installed on the upper section of the lower body 3 by rotatably aligning the fixture 18 holder due to the elongated protrusions 18c formed by the fixture holder 18 and the recesses provided on the inner side of the upper peripheral section of the lower body 3. Then, the rod 17 can be further rotated in the direction of assembly, if necessary to further compress the inner gel ring 7 and the gel outer ring 6, 10a, thereby further compressing the sealing material in a radially outward direction towards the inner peripheral surface of the bottom section of the lower body 3 to obtain solid sealing.
