ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a pushing-in device and a method for driving through a cable entry port of an elastomeric sealing element of a fiber optic closure. The pushing-in device comprises a first end having an opening adapted to receive a cable, and a second end having a tip. The tip is capable of penetrating and passing through the cable entry port of the sealing element. The first end is capable of penetrating the sealing element at the cable entry port when the pushing-in device is driven through the cable entry port. In this manner, a cable inserted in the opening of the pushing-in device may be inserted and fed through the sealing element into the fiber optic closure. Also, the pushing-in device may be used as a plug in a cable entry port.
