Claim:
1. A cable sealing module comprising: a module body having a total axial length that extends between first and second ends of the module body, the module body defining a central axis that extends along the total axial length, the module body having a composite construction including a volume of sealant at least partially contained between first and second axial containment layers, the first and second axial containment layers forming first and second axial end caps attached to the volume of sealant adjacent the first and second ends of the insert body, the module body defining at least three cable ports that extends axially through volume of sealant, the volume of sealant including cable sealing surfaces that extends around the cable ports, the volume of sealant also including an exposed outer sealing surface that surrounds a periphery of the module body and extends around the central axis of the module body, the exposed outer sealing surface and the cable sealing surfaces being positioned between the first and second axial end caps; the module body having a wrap-around configuration for allowing cables to be laterally inserted into the cable ports, the wrap-around configuration including a hinge line defined by a flexible hinge for allowing first and second segments of the module body to be pivoted apart from one another about the hinge line, the at least three cable ports being defined at an interface between the first and second segments that opens when the first and second segments of the module body are pivoted apart from one another, each of the first and second segments of the module including a portion of the volume of sealant, a portion of the first axial end cap and a portion of the second axial end cap.
