Patent ID: 7534960

Claim:
A method for traversing a bulkhead with a cable, comprising: positioning a resilient material between two opposing flanges; providing a single threaded compression screw aligned with a central axis of said resilient material extending from a first one of said opposing flanges, through a control bore defined in said resilient material, to a threaded member secured to a second one of said two opposing flanges; passing a cable through a first cable bore of a plurality of cable bores radially disposed at least a first radial distance around said control bore, and extending through said resilient material; selectively applying a compressive force to only a limited portion of said resilient material extending from said central axis a distance less than said first radial distance by exclusively rotating said compression screw in said threaded member to vary a distance between said opposing flanges; varying a cross-sectional profile of each of said plurality of cable bores, including said first cable bore responsive to said compressive force to engage a peripheral portion of said cable where it passes through said first cable bore.
