Abstract: A cam-based, force-controlled system for seal activation includes a plurality of sealing segment assemblies. Each sealing segment assemblies includes an inner segment and an outer segment assembly configured to mate with the inner segment. The inner segment includes an upper segment portion, a lower segment portion, and an inner segment seal disposed between the upper segment portion and the lower segment portion. The outer segment assembly includes an upper segment element, and outer perimeter element, an outer segment seal disposed between the upper segment element and the outer perimeter seal, a rod coupled to the upper segment element, a first cam coupled to the upper segment element, a second cam coupled to the upper segment element, and a handle coupled to the rod, the first cam, and the second cam.

Abstract: A sealing system for a telecommunication closure includes an endcap having a plurality of slotted areas defined therein; and a plurality of sealing segment assemblies mounted to the endcap that when combined form a substantially continuous sealing perimeter around the endcap. Each sealing segment assembly is disposed in one of the plurality of slotted areas and includes an inner segment and an outer segment that when mated together are configured to seal at least one cable routed through a cable port opening.
