ABSTRACT:
A connector comprises a substantially cylindrical housing having an internal circumferential groove therein. A seal element is disposed within the housing, the seal element having an axial passage therethrough. A plurality of circumferential sealing lips are spaced apart along the axial passage and sized such that each of the plurality of circumferential sealing lips provides a compression seal along a cable element inserted through the axial passage. A follower abuts the seal element. A spring is disposed in the groove acting against the follower and forcing the follower against the seal to maintain a fluid seal on the cable element.
