Abstract:
1. A cable sleeve for the structured storage and handling of optical waveguides guided in optical waveguide cables, comprising: a covering body, which defines an interior; a sealing body comprising two dimensionally stable end pieces and a compressible gel element arranged between the end pieces, wherein the sealing body is adapted to be inserted into an opening of the covering body and operable for feeding optical waveguide cables into the interior and/or for feeding optical waveguide cables out of the interior; a stop against which the sealing body bears with an inner one of the two dimensionally stable end pieces, wherein a locking body can be screwed to an outer one of the two dimensionally stable end pieces of the sealing body while compressing the gel element; and at least one compensation element operable for storing the force applied via the locking body and exerting a compression force onto the gel element.
