Zusammenfassung:A seal (10) that is configured to engage an elongate element, such as a wire cable (38), and a cavity wall (48) is presented. The seal (10) includes a seal body (12) that is formed of a compliant material such as a silicone rubber. The seal (10) has an outer surface (14) that engages the cavity surface. The seal body (12) defines a gallery (16) extending therethrough and surrounded by an inner surface (18) of the seal body (12). The seal body (12) has a forward surface (20) extending from a forward edge (22) of the outer surface (14) to a forward edge (22) of the inner surface (18) and a rearward surface (26) extending from a rearward edge (28) of the outer surface (14) to a rearward edge (28) of the inner surface (18). The seal (10) further includes a support element (32) formed of a rigid material, such as glass filled polyester or NYLON, extending through the seal body (12) in a direction substantially parallel to the inner surface (18).
