Abstract
A cable bushing, in particular for a motor vehicle, for routing a cable harness having a plurality of electrical lines through a wall opening in a sealed manner. The cable bushing includes a dimensionally stable housing for insertion into the wall opening. The housing encloses a sealing member that is made of an elastic sealing material. The sealing member includes receiving devices or channels for individually routing the electrical lines in an axial direction. The cable bushing further has a pressure-providing element that exerts a compressive force on the sealing member, such that the sealing member encloses the electrical lines individually in a sealed manner and the sealing member is pressed radially against the housing to achieve a high level of impermeability to longitudinal water penetration. Additionally, pins may be provided to produce additional radial compressive forces.
