Abstract

The invention relates to a cable contact weather protection device for receiving cable contact points, in particular of fiber optic cable contact points, with at least one cable pass-through sealing unit comprising at least two separate sealing modules, which are exchangeable independently from each other and each of which is provided to at least sectionally completely encompass, in at least one usage state, at least one elongate body in a circumferential direction.

Claims (25)

1. A cable contact weather protection device for receiving cable contact points, in particular of fiber optic cable contact points, comprising:

at least one cable pass-through sealing unit comprising at least two separate sealing modules that contact each other laterally, that are exchangeable independently from each other, and that each of which is provided to at least sectionally completely encompass, in at least one usage state, at least one elongate body in a circumferential direction, and

a pressurizing unit that is provided to charge the sealing modules with a pressure in at least one direction and that comprises at least one pressure adjusting unit provided to simultaneously adjust a pressure for at least a majority of the pressurizing modules.

2. A cable contact weather protection device for receiving cable contact points, in particular of fiber optic cable contact points, comprising:

at least one cable pass-through sealing unit comprising at least two separate sealing modules that contact each other laterally, that are exchangeable independently from each other, and that each of which is provided to at least sectionally completely encompass, in at least one usage state, at least one elongate body in a circumferential direction, wherein

at least one of the sealing modules is embodied at least substantially as an annulus sector.

3. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressurizing unit comprises for at least a majority of the sealing modules of the cable pass-through sealing unit respectively one separate pressurizing module.

4. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 3 , wherein the pressurizing unit comprises at least one pressure adjusting unit, which is provided to simultaneously adjust a pressure for at least a majority of the pressurizing modules.

5. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the sealing modules are embodied differently.

6. A system for composing a cable contact weather protection device for receiving cable contact points, in particular of fiber optic cable contact points, comprising:

at least one cable pass-through sealing unit comprising different sealing modules provided to be combined into a cable pass-through sealing unit that includes at least two separate sealing modules that contact each other laterally, that are exchangeable independently from each other, and that each of which is provided to at least sectionally completely encompass, in at least one usage state, at least one elongate body in a circumferential direction.

7. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the sealing modules is provided to be unfolded for a cable assembly.

8. The cable contact weather protection device at least according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing element is at least substantially slotted along a circumferential direction.

9. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein sealing elements of the sealing modules are embodied as gel elements.

10. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the sealing modules is embodied at least substantially as an annulus sector.

11. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the sealing modules comprises at least one sheathing element formed of a solid plastic.

12. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , comprising a cable fixation unit having at least two separate cable fixation modules, each of which is provided to fixate at least one elongate body, in at least one usage state.

13. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing modules are disconnectable, connectable, and exchangeable with respect to the cable pass-through sealing unit individually and independently from each other.

14. The cable contact weather protection device at least according to claim 12 , wherein the cable fixation unit comprises a support unit, which is provided to movably support the cable fixation modules.

15. A system for composing a cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 .

16. The system according to claim 15 , comprising different sealing modules, which are provided to be combined into a cable pass-through sealing unit of the cable contact weather protection device.

17. The system according to claim 16 , wherein each of the cable fixation modules comprises a functionally allocated sealing module.

18. A sealing module of a cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 .

19. A cable fixation module of a cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 .

20. The cable contact weather protection device according to claim 1 , wherein the cable pass-through sealing unit comprises at least one sealing surface that is adjacent to a structural element of the housing unit in at least one usage state.
