Abstract: A sealing unit (120) includes opposing sealing blocks (122) that are biased together. Each sealing block (122) includes a volume of sealant (124) contained between two containment wall sections (125). Each containment wall section (125) defines a plurality of notches (127) of various sizes. The notches (127) of the containment wall sections (125) of each sealing block (122) align with each other to define cable passages across the sealant (124). The sealing blocks (122) can be rotated to mate similarly sized notches (127) to define a cable port (126) leading to a sealing interface between the volumes of sealant (124). An inner diameter of the cable port (126) can be selected based on selecting which notches (127) to mate.
