Abstract

A seal for a cable connector used to connect cables and the like to a partition or a housing provides that one size of seal can be used with a wider range of cable sizes than existing seals. The seal for the connector has a substantially tubular body made from elastomeric material. The body has a cylindrical inner surface, a frusto-conical outer surface extending from a small end with a curved lip at the small end. A large end at the other end of the tubular body and recesses formed in the tubular body between the inner surface and the outer surface, making the tubular body compressible.
