The seal (52) has a first sealing part (58) adapted to seal around a first portion of one or more cables.

The seal (52) also includes a second sealing part (60) adapted to seal around a second portion of the or each cable . The seal further includes an abutment surface (74) extending between said first and second sealing parts (58/60), the abutment surface (74) being adapted to engage a junction between the first and second portions. A tool (120) for assisting in the locating of a gland assembly seal onto a cable with a plurality of internal sheaths is also described.
