AFL Telecommunications in conjunction with Mar-Don Corporation has developed a new cable sealing grommet technology for the AFL Sealed Fiber Optic Closures called “Peel and Seal”. This improved sealing technology utilitizes MULTICENTRIC® Grommets that do away with time consuming tasks such as installing washers and messy sealing tapes for cable entry. MULTICENTRIC® Grommets are designed to accept a wide range of cable diameters, eliminating the need to stock a variety of diameter-specific grommet kits.
Conversion kits for the standard LG-100, LG-200, and LG-300 closures allow this exciting new grommet technology to be used without changing out the existing closure.
New closure models, LG-150, LG-250, and LG-350, are equipped from the factory with the “Peel and Seal” grommet system.

Each grommet is designed to accommodate several cable diameters. There are a number of separated thin layers of material working towards the core of the grommet. The installer simply determines how many layers of material to ‘peel’ away from the core that will give the cable diameter its best fit for a ‘seal’. This is determined via use of a diameter-tape measuring tool.
