Cable-gland system for an electronic chassis providing enhanced sealing functionality

A method of assembling an electronics device exposed to an outside environment, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of individual cable glands, each of the plurality of individual cable glands including an exterior end, an interior end, a through-hole extending between the exterior and interior ends, and an outer surface between the exterior and interior ends, each of the plurality of individual cable glands having a male projection on one side of the outer surface and a female recess on an opposing side of the outer surface, the male projection and the female recess being positioned between the exterior end and a registration feature;
• positioning the exterior end adjacent to an exterior of an electronic chassis;
• positioning the interior end within the electronic chassis;
• receiving, via the through-hole, one of a plurality of cables;
• connecting the plurality of individual cable glands to form a cable-gland system by mating the male projection on one cable gland with the female recess of an adjacent cable gland;
• and
• mating a registration feature with a corresponding feature in the electronic chassis, the registration feature being included in each of the plurality of individual cable glands.

A method of assembling an electronics device exposed to an outside environment, the method comprising:

• providing an electronic chassis having a base and a cover;
• engaging the base with the cover at an interface, at least one of the base and the cover having a plurality of cavities in a surface adjacent to the interface;
• connecting a plurality of individual cable glands to form a cable-gland system, each of the plurality of individual cable glands including
• an exterior end,
• an interior end,
• a through-hole extending between the exterior and interior ends,
• an outer surface between the exterior and interior ends, and
• a registration feature for mating with a corresponding feature in the electronic chassis, the registration feature being positioned in a central area between the exterior end and the interior end;
• receiving the outer surfaces of the individual cable glands within the plurality of cavities;
• coupling electronic components to cables, the electronic components being located within the electronic chassis;
• and
• allowing the cables to exit the electronic chassis by extending each of the cables through a corresponding one of the through-holes of the cable glands.
