Patent ID: 10594127

Abstract:
A cable gland for providing strain relief and sealing for a cable that can be coupled to a device. The cable gland includes a sealing gland having a sealant. Upon assembly of the cable gland, the sealing gland is compressed in a manner that can releases, or otherwise can facilitate the displacement of, the sealant about an interface between a portion of the cable and the sealing gland, and/or into spaces between exposed insulative jackets and/or conductors of the cable. The sealant can include a curable viscous sealant that is housed within a package of the sealing gland, the package being configured to rupture upon compression of the sealing gland. Alternatively, the sealant can be a malleable sealant material that can be pressed or otherwise displaced to form a seal between the sealing gland and cable and/or into the spaces between exposed insulative jackets and/or conductors of the cable.
