  • Patent number: 11929598
    Abstract: A cable gland sealing member comprising: a sleeve (19) arranged to be slidably received within a passage (9) defined in a body (5) of a cable gland, the sleeve (19) arranged to receive a settable sealing material for forming a seal to a cable passing through the sleeve, wherein the sleeve (19) is defined by an annular side wall extending along an axial length; wherein an outer surface (71) of the sleeve (19) includes a tapered portion (95) such that the external diameter of the sleeve (19) widens in the tapered portion (95); and wherein the outer surface (71) of the sleeve (19) is arranged to form a seal with the cable gland body (5). A cable gland is also disclosed using such a sealing member.
