ABSTRACT:
A fiber sealing apparatus in which a seal about an outer fiber optic cable may be formed relatively independently of a seal about an inner fiber optic line. The fiber optic sealing apparatus may comprise a housing containing a central passageway there through. The housing may further comprise a fiber seal and a seal energizer configured to interact with the fiber seal. An intermediate cap may be coupled with an end of the housing and configured to apply a load to the seal energizer. An end cap may be coupled with an end of the intermediate cap and configured to seal against an inserted fiber optic cable. Applying the load to the seal energizer may result in a barrier forming around an inserted fiber optic line.
