Device for establishing electrical contact between a shield of an electrical cable and a housing, and a pre-assembled cable

A pre-assembled electrical cable for routing through a cable gland of a housing, the pre-assembled electrical cable comprising:

• a cable sheathing;
• a shield surrounded by said cable sheathing;
• an under-sleeve;
• a contact sleeve being press-fitted to said under-sleeve while said shield is interlayered, said contact sleeve having an end side with a plurality of contact springs configured as spring tongues and which are configured for establishing electrical contact on an internal wall of the cable gland;
• and
• a bipartite cap assembly having a closure cap surrounding said contact sleeve and said closure cap configured for being pulled over the cable gland and for connection thereto said closure cap is pulled over said cable sheathing and is fixed in a defined position to said cable sheathing, wherein an annular space is configured between said contact sleeve and said closure cap, said bipartite cap assembly further having a protective cap which serves as a temporary transportation protection device and adjoins said closure cap and surrounds said end side of said contact sleeve with said contact springs so that said contact springs are protected by said protective cap.
