A valve for controlling fluids, having a valve housing which has an actuator chamber and at least two laterally located inlet bores that communicates with a high-pressure inlet, and the actuator chamber has an actuator with a ram and an actuator cap, and the actuator chamber has a conical seal, which is embodied by means of a conical face on the end of the actuator chamber and a corresponding annular sealing face on the actuator cap, and with the conical seal a cable outlet can be sealed off. A more-uniform introduction of force to the actuator is attained by the plurality of inlet bores.
