A cable gland having a first cable gland portion and a second cable gland portion in engagement with each other is disclosed. The cable gland comprises earthing members (60) in electrical engagement with the first and second gland portions, each earthing member including a spike (68) for penetrating through a sheath layer of an electrical cable, following radially inward movement of the spike, thereby forming an electrical earth connection with a conducting portion of a cable. The first gland portion comprises a first cam surface and the second gland portion comprises a second cam surface, wherein the first and second cam surfaces are adapted to engage respective earthing member cam surfaces (72, 74) of the earthing member, the first and second cam surfaces thereby causing the earthing member and the corresponding spike to move radially inwards as the first and second gland portions are brought into threaded engagement with each other. |
