ABSTRACT:
A connector provides for the termination of a first electrical cable and a second electrical cable where each cable includes a plurality of conductors extending through an outer jacket. The first cable has a diameter which is larger than the second cable. An elongate gland body includes a cable receiving end, a conductor egressing end and a longitudinal center bore therethrough for receipt of the first and second cables individually. A gland nut is positioned in axial alignment with the gland body and is attachable thereto. First and second resilient sealing members are positioned between the gland body and gland nut and are resiliently deformable for effecting a cable seal. A portion of first sealing member is resiliently deformable through an opening in the gland nut and the second sealing member is urged into frictional engagement with the first sealing member upon termination of the second cable in the connector. An insert member is also provided which is positionable within the conductor egressing end of the gland body so as to accommodate and precisely locate the second cable in the connector.
