The first housing wall and the second housing wall define a housing opening to receive a sealing assembly that has an inner surface and an outer surface. A sealing opening is configured to receive a fiber optic cable associated with the fiber optic cable connection. The outer surface is configured to contact at least one of the first housing wall, the second housing wall, or the union wall when the sealing assembly is received within the housing opening.
