Cable gland

A cable gland comprising:

• an elongate body defining an axially extending passage configured to receive a cable having an outer surface, the elongate body comprising an inner sealing surface and a seal abutment surface adjacent the passage, the seal abutment surface facing in a first direction;
• and
• a cable gland sealing arrangement locatable in the passage, the cable gland sealing arrangement comprising:
• an annular elastomeric seal comprising an inner sealing surface and an outer sealing surface and defining a first opening adjacent the inner sealing surface for receiving the cable and at least one further opening between the inner sealing surface and the outer sealing surface, in use, the inner sealing surface, seals against the outer surface of the cable, and the outer sealing surface seals against the inner sealing surface adjacent the passage;
• an annular seal deforming member comprising a body having a first face which, in use, abuts the annular elastomeric seal, a second opposed face and an inner wall between the first face and the second opposed face, the inner wall defining a third opening for receiving the cable, and
• at least one axially extending link which extends from a proximal end to a distal end, the distal end facing towards the seal abutment surface in a second direction opposite to the first direction, in use, the at least one axially extending link extends through the at least one further opening, the distal end abuts the seal abutment surface and the proximal end abuts the first face of the annular seal deforming member.
