Abstract

The invention includes a seal insert made of elastic sealing material for the sealing of cable connections. This seal insert is made of several sealing disks which are provided with concentric stampings or grooves and with a radial slit. For sealing, the cable openings of the sealing disks are fitted by removing concentric rings. For the sealing, the individual sealing disks are arranged reciprocally over one another, whereby the radial slits do not overlap and whereby the concentric grooves engage a smooth underside of an adjacent disk or a smooth surface of the connecting apparatus. A double seal is shown for the introduction of uncut cables.
