Fluid-tight cable duct
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a fluid-tight cable duct ( 1 ) which is used to guide a cable ( 2 ) into a chamber ( 3 ) which can be impinged upon by pressure, and which comprises a housing ( 4 ), at least one cable ( 2 ) and one first and one second seal ( 5 a , 5 b ) which can be pressure-loaded. The two pressure-loaded seals ( 5 a , 5 b ) and the housing ( 4 ) define an inner hollow chamber ( 4 d ), and the cable ( 2 ) enters into the inner hollow chamber ( 4 d ) via the first seal ( 5 a ), through which the inner hollow chamber ( 4 d ) extends, and exits the inner hollow chamber ( 4 d ) via the second seal ( 5 b ). The inner hollow chamber ( 4 d ) comprises a pressure discharge opening ( 4 c ) which leads into an outer chamber ( 6 ) which is located outside the chamber ( 3 ) which can be impinged upon by pressure.
