  • Patent number: 6148513
    Abstract: A method is indicated for applying a connecting element (3) in a moisture-proof manner to a high-frequency cable (1) containing at least one tubular electric conductor (7) which is surrounded by a sheath made of an insulating material. First, the sheath (10) is removed from the end of the conductor (7). Then a socket-shaped metal contact part (11,12) is attached to this end of the conductor (7) so that it makes electrical contact. A sealing material is placed between the contact part and conductor (7) on the one hand, and the contact part and the sheath (10) on the other. The sealing material for a seal (15) is made up of at least two components, which after the installation of the contact part (11, 12) enlarges its volume to such a degree that it fills the peripheral hollow space between the contact part (11, 12) and the conductor (7), and between the contact part (11, 12) and the sheath (10), at least in the transition area from the conductor (7) to the sheath (10).

  • Patent number: 5950381
    Abstract: A device is positioned for passing a lengthy object through an opening in a wall to which a flat plate made of a stable material is attached. The plate has a hole that corresponds to and is aligned with the opening. A one-piece rubber sleeve that surrounds the lengthy object is provided for its moisture-proof insertion, and has a lengthwise separation which can be closed. A circumferential groove is provided on the inside of the rubber sleeve and is designed to lay against the lengthy object; this groove contains a ring-shaped insert made of a flexible material. In addition, the rubber sleeve has an outwardly open circumferential recess at one outer axial end, to seal the edge that limits the hole in the plate.
