Publication number: 20220350102Abstract: Aspects and techniques of the present disclosure relate to a cable sealing structure comprising a cable sealing body including a gel and methods of making anisotropic behavior in cable sealing structures made with a dry silicone gel. In one aspect, various three-dimensional printing techniques are used to make a cable sealing structure that includes a gel. The cable sealing body has a construction that elastically deforms to apply an elastic spring load to the gel. The cable sealing body has a construction with anisotropic deformation characteristics that allows the cable sealing body to be less deformable in one direction than in others. The cable sealing structure can be utilized to seal fiber optic cables more uniformly while limiting the potential of leakage.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2022Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicants: COMMSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES LLC, COMMSCOPE CONNECTIVITY BELGIUM BVBAInventors: Christiaan RADELET, Thierry Mike DECLERCK, Gary William ADAMS, Matthew Peter GALLA, Roel Modest Willy BRYON, Dirk KEMPENEERS, Robert VANHENTENRIJK, Danny Willy August VERHEYDEN, David Thomas BROWN, Michael MARIS, Julian S.
