A cable gland is provided comprising an outer tubular body (1] having a free end [2] forming an entry end for a cable [3] and an inner tubular body [4] having an externally screw threaded portion [5] in cooperating engagement with an internally screw threaded portion [6] of the outer tubular body with the two bodies forming an internal cavity housing an armor clamp assembly that includes an armor clamping cone [7] and a cooperating clamping ring [8] that are operatively urged into cooperating relationship by screwing the inner tubular body into the outer tubular body. The external screw thread on the inner tubular body is confined to an inner end region of the inner tubular body with a smooth outer cylindrical surface [9] having a diameter no greater than the minimum diameter of the screw threaded end region extends to a nut formation [11] that is external of the outer tubular body. The inner surface of the outer tubular body has a circumferential groove [13] adjacent its end that receives the inner tubular body for accommodating an endless seal [12] in the operative position with the endless seal cooperating with the outer cylindrical surface of the inner tubular body. The endless seal is, prior to installation of the gland, located either in said circumferential groove or on the outer cylindrical surface of the inner tubular body adjacent the screw threaded end region thereof.
