Abstract: An electrical cable gland, generally of the type comprising two parts having a tubular configuration and interengaged by means of screw-threads is provided with an elastomeric tubular sealing sleeve, sealing onto a smooth outer surface of one part and engaging an end face of a second part so as to extend across and seal the entrance and outer surfaces of the screw-threads. The cable gland preferably has an internal armor clamp associated with electrically conductive metal inner parts and has its entire operative outer surface made of an electrically insulating and/or corrosion resistant material. The cable gland also preferably has an inner and an outer seal of the compression type.

Abstract: A cable gland having two parts interconnected by a screw thread through which moisture may conceivably enter is provided. The screw threaded connection is between two parts of the cable gland and a skirt is sealed to the one part on one side of the outer end of the screw threads and sealingly engages a circular sealing surface on the cable gland part on the other side of the outer end of the screw threads. The skirt may be flexible and resilient itself or may be rigid with a sealing ring co-operating between it and the circular surface.
