Patent attributes
The present invention relates to a gel sealing device for sealing a passage of elongate parts through an opening. Such gel sealing device is preferably arranged in a housing used in telecommunication technology. The present invention solves the problem of providing a gel sealing device having improved cable access properties. The inventive gel sealing device comprises a gel sealing block (5) which provides a sealing section (22) through which the elongate parts (13, 14) extend, wherein the gel sealing block (5) comprises an upper flange (11) and a lower flange (12) with a support section (11a, 12a, 12b) disposed therebetween. The upper and lower flanges (11, 12) sandwiches in direction of extension of the elongate parts (13, 14), a gel inner ring (7) supported by said support section (2) and a gel outer ring (6, 10a) covering the gel inner ring (7) in a radial direction extending transverse to said extension direction. The gel inner ring (7) and the gel outer ring (6, 10a) are made of a gel sealing material, wherein the sealing section (22) is formed therebetween. The gel outer ring (6, 10a) comprises a first circumferential segment (6) and at least one second circumferential segment (10a) which is adapted to be detachable from the first circumferential segment (6) to provide a separate accessible sealing section.
