Abstract
A cable gland assembly includes a gland nut defining a longitudinal axis. The gland nut includes an interior wall defining a gland nut opening and the interior wall includes a stop. A bushing is disposed within the gland nut opening proximate the stop. The bushing defines a bushing opening configured to receive a cable therein. A sleeve is moveably disposed within the gland nut opening adjacent the bushing. The cable gland assembly also includes a body defining a body opening configured to receive at least a portion of the cable therein. The body is configured to couple to the gland nut, and upon tightening of the gland nut to the body, the gland nut moves along the longitudinal axis compressing the bushing between the gland nut and the sleeve and around the cable. When the sleeve engages with the stop, further compression of the bushing is restricted.
