Cable gland embodying moisture-proof seal

摘要

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.
