Abstract
A cable gland assembly is disclosed that provides an environmental seal around one or more electronic cables that pass through the cable gland assembly and provides deflection-resistant properties that prevent deflection of the one or more electronic cables.
Claims14
A cable gland assembly, comprising:
- a gland housing having a first side, a second side, and a space therethrough extending from and through the first side to and through the second side;
- a compression gasket removably disposed in the second side of the cable gland housing, the compression gasket having one or more cable pathways extending therethrough and having a tapered portion between a front side and a rear side;
- a strain relief cable grommet proximally disposed to the compression gasket and having one or more cable notches, an amount of cable notches matching an amount of cable pathways in the compression gasket;
- and
- compression means to apply a compressive force to the strain relief cable grommet, the compression gasket, and the gland housing to secure the strain relief cable grommet and the compression gasket to the gland housing;
- and
- wherein the compression means further applies pressure to force the tapered portion of the compression gasket into a portion of the gland housing to apply a radial force to the cable pathways extending through the compression gasket.
4 more elements
A cable gland assembly, comprising:
- a cylindrical housing section;
- a sealing section further comprising means to form a compression seal around one or more electronic cables, and including a solid compression gasket that has a tapered portion extending from a first side to a second side wherein the tapered portion is insertable into a portion of the cylindrical housing section to apply a radial force to multiple cable pathways extending through the compression gasket;
- a cable deflection resistant section disposable adjacent to the sealing section;
- and
- wherein the cylindrical housing section, the sealing section, and the cable deflection resistant section releasably communicate to form an anti-deflection environmental seal around one or more electronic cables passing through the multiple cable pathways.
