  • Publication number: 20220196949
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relates to a sealing unit for sealing an optical fiber cable. The sealing unit can include a body member that defines a passage that extends lengthwise therethrough, and a first cavity adjacent a proximal end where the first cavity has a first diameter and a second cavity adjacent a distal end where the second cavity has a second diameter. A sealing member that has a distal end face and a proximal end face, The sealing member can be mounted within the first cavity of the body member and configured to create a seal about the optical fiber cable when the optical fiber cable is routed therethrough. When in use, a duct can be rotated inside the second cavity of the body member such that internal threads of the second cavity cut into the duct to drive the duct forward to abut the distal end face of the sealing member to prevent a leak path.
