ABSTRACT:
A plug assembly for encircling a cable and encapsulating it within a conduit includes a first and second ring members, each of which is formed of resilient material and has an inner wall conformable to a circumferential portion of the cable's outer surface. A rigid spacer is disposed between the first and second ring members for defining a sealant-receiving channel therebetween. Sealant material, such as a silicone compound, is dispensed within the channel, and a compression means associated with the plug assembly is operable for deforming the first and second ring members axially and radially, thereby to deform the channel so that at least some sealant material received in the channel is displaced into the region between the inner walls of the first and second ring members and corresponding portions of the cable's outer surface to provide a cushion/sealant between the ring members and the cable.
