Abstract: A threaded cable joint for a cable having a cable shield enclosing an internal conductor region. The cable joint, which may be connected to a housing, has a connection piece and an outer pressure element. The outer pressure element is screw-connected to the connection piece, and acts on a seal to cause the seal to abut against the cable as the cable passes through the threaded cable joint. A number of shield contact elements are arranged within the connection piece, and in electrical contact with the connection piece. The shield contact elements include conductive contact bows that extend in the direction of the passed-through cable for contacting the cable shield at a first contact point, thus forming a direct electrical connection between the cable shield and the connection piece.
