Abstract:
A cable transit for protecting against the ingress of liquids, particles and gases, and for protecting against electromagnetic disturbances or interference at a wall transit location within a wall, said transit comprising a sleeve having an internal cavity and an associated nut means, said sleeve fitting tightly in said wall, a cable sealing means which includes two semi-cylindrical bodies that are made of a compressible material and that together fit into the internal cavity of the sleeve and that have an adaptable center hole for accommodating a cable to be passed through said wall, said semi-cylindrical bodies having several layers that can be peeled one from the other, wherein said semi-cylindrical bodies can be pressed together and into tight abutment with both the sleeve on an outer side of said bodies and with the cable on an inner side of said bodies, said transit further including a conductive screen for earthing a normally earthed cable screen around a whole circumference thereof, wherein at least one of said peelable layers is removed along a part of the two semi-cylindrical bodies so that said semi-cylindrical bodies have at said part a center hole whose diameter is greater than a diameter of a remaining part of the semi-cylindrical bodies, and wherein a part-screen of conductive material is placed around said remaining part of each semi-cylindrical body, such that the two part-screens together form said conductive screen, said part where at least one peelable layer has been removed being for a portion of said cable whose outer insulating sheath is still intact and the remaining part being for a portion of said cable from which said insulating sheath has been stripped.
