ABSTRACT:
An earthed cable gland for an armoured cable for mounting on an enclosure wall includes an electrically insulating gland nut and an electrically insulating tubular entry member. The entry member is threaded at one end for engagement with the gland nut. At least one slot extends longitudinally from an other end of the entry member along a part of its length. A device is included for mounting the entry member on an enclosure wall. An armoured cable extends through the cable gland and has an armoured covering. An electrically conducting tubular connection member is retained within the entry member for engagement with the armour of the cable. An electrically conducting contact member is located within the at least one slot in the entry member. The contact member is moveable on mounting of the entry member on the enclosure wall, between a first position free of the connection member and a second position in abutment and electrical contact with the connection member. An earthed tag is electrically connected to the contact member.
