Claim 20:
21. A seal block assembly configured to receive a cable and comprising:
first and second block members, each of the first and second block members including a main body and a plurality of resilient tabs projecting from the main body, the resilient tabs defining sealing surfaces, the resilient tabs being sized and arranged such that when the first and second block members are coupled to each other:
the first and second block members define at least one cable passage between a cable entry and a cable exit, a reference line extending through the cable entry and the cable exit;
the sealing surfaces of the resilient tabs of the first block member abut the sealing surfaces of the resilient tabs of the second block member to form a plurality of sealing tab pairs, the sealing tab pairs being aligned along the reference line between the cable entry and the cable exit; and
there is a spacing between every adjacent pair of sealing tab pairs along the reference line,

wherein the seal block assembly defines a leak path when a cable is positioned in the cable passage, the leak path being labyrinthine as projected in at least one reference plane.
