Abstract
A frame for receiving one or more modules for cable entries or pipe penetrations. A compression unit is an integrated part of the frame in at least one embodiment, which compression unit is to compress the modules inside the frame. The compression unit includes three compression wedges. An upper and a lower compression wedge have the same orientation, while a middle compression wedge has an opposite orientation. The middle compression wedge is oriented with a broad side facing an opening of the frame receiving the modules. At least one compression screw goes through openings of the upper and lower compression wedges and through a slot in the middle compression wedge.
