A cable gland () comprising: an entry component () sized to fit through an orifice in a surface and having a flange () arranged to bear against the surface around the orifice; a middle component () in threaded engagement with the entry component (); and a back component () in threaded engagement with the middle component (), the cable gland () defining a through bore () for a cable through the entry component (), the middle component () and the back component (); the cable gland () further comprising a sealing body () which is arranged to provide a seal in at least two positions from the group comprising: between the surface and the flange () of the entry component () (typically acting as a ingress protection washer); between the cable and the back component () (typically acting as an ingress protection seal); between the back component () and the middle component () (typically acting as a shroud); and between the middle component () and the entry component () (typically acting as a deluge boot).

Cable glands with multiple seal positions

An adaptive seal for a cable gland including a body including a compression portion defining a distal surface and an insertion portion defining a proximal surface, the compression portion having an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the insertion portion, a plurality of insertion apertures in the proximal surface, a plurality of tubes extending from the distal surface, each having a closed end and each at least partially tapering in diameter from the distal end of the body to the closed end, and a plurality of channels, each defined between one of the insertion apertures of the body and one of the closed ends of a respective one of the tubes, wherein the body and the plurality of tubes are integrally formed a single piece of elastic material.

Adaptive seal for cable glands

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