Abstract
A tubular member having an O-ring seal on a shoulder is locked in a panel opening with a nut. An elastomeric sleeve is bonded to an extended sleeve portion of the tubular member. Two elastomeric mirror image inserts forming one or more fiber optic cable cavities are assembled around the cables and inserted into engagement with the elastomeric sleeve internal surface. A hose clamp compresses the elastomeric sleeve against the elastomeric elements, firmly clamping the elements and the cables in place.
