Zusammenfassung:1. Field of the Invention A sealing device for sealing a cylindrical object, such as an electrical or fiber optic cable, includes a base with a first end, a second open end, and an inner wall formed inside the base and connecting the first end to the second open end. The sealing device also includes a cap having one end which is open and another end which is attached to the first end of the base. The one end of the cap includes a first cylindrical recess of a first diameter extending toward the base. In a first embodiment, a hole is drilled through the cap using the first cylindrical recess as a guide. A cable is passed through the hole and a heat shrink wrap assembly is used to seal the cable. In a second embodiment, the cap is removed from the base along a frangible connection. A threaded fastener with a first hole and a gasket with a second hole are provided. A cable is passed through the first and second holes, and the threaded fastener is screw onto the base to seal the cable.
