Abstract

Several embodiments of a wire cable seal are shown. They use a cylindrical body having a passage intersected by two or three slots. Each slot receives a disk rolling in the slot. The slot tapers to pinch the cable in the passage with the disk. Each disk is separately spring loaded to protrude and pinch the cable. The multiple disks are located at different heights and different angles.
