Abstract:
A cable gland and method for earthing, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland includes compressible fingers with the ability to compress or expand about a cable inserted in and through the cable gland, and an adjustable earthing coil arranged internally inside a part of the cable gland that secures around a cable inserted in the cable gland. When fully coiled, the adjustable earthing coil is relaxed and as the adjustable earthing coil is expanded it generates a restoring force. An earthing strap attached to the adjustable earthing coil in the cable gland, provides grounding capabilities to the cable gland.

Claim (Index 20):
The body of a cable gland comprising:\n a tapered area configured to be received in an outer housing; a body tightening mechanism adjacent to the tapered area; a bore running through the length of the body of the cable gland; a sealing connector disposed within the bore; wherein the tapered area further comprises: fingers configured equidistance apart cylindrically forming the portion of the bore that runs through the tapered area of the cable gland; and finger-gaps disposed between the fingers, that compress and expand, decreasing and increasing the circumference of the bore running through the tapered area of the cable gland.
