A cable gland includes a gland nut defining a longitudinal axis. The gland nut includes an interior wall defining a gland nut opening. A bushing is disposed within the gland nut. The bushing defines a bushing opening configured to receive a cable therein. A compression limiting assembly includes a compression limiter moveably disposed at least partially within the gland nut. A spring is disposed between the compression limiter and the bushing. A body defines a body opening configured to receive at least a portion of the cable therein. The body is configured to couple to the gland nut. Upon coupling of the gland nut to the body, the gland nut moves along the longitudinal axis compressing the bushing between the gland nut and the compression limiting assembly and around the cable.

A method and assembly for protecting a device connected to a wiring harness is disclosed. The assembly includes a protective tubular shield and a positioning device, with the protective tubular shield having a bore for receiving the device at least partially therein. An elongated wiring harness extends from the device being protected and through the bore of the protective tubular shield. The positioning device is formed having a band and at least one flexible, resilient finger extending radially inwardly from the band. At least one of the fingers forcibly engages the wiring harness to releasably maintain the positioning device and the protective tubular shield in a protection position along the wiring harness at least partially surrounding the device being protected.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a sealing device for sealing a cold-end part of a thermocouple wire arrangement based on a mineral-insulated cable, the sealing device comprising: a sealing element including an electrically insulating material, the sealing element defining a through-hole for passing through a respective thermocouple wire of the mineral-insulated cable; a sealing ring arranged at an outer rim of the sealing element for fixing the sealing device to a sheath or a support tube of the mineral-insulated cable; and an electric temperature sensing element for sensing an absolute temperature of the cold-end part. The temperature sensing element has at least one temperature-dependent electrical property.

In a first embodiment, cable sealing device is described herein for use in a port structure of fiber terminal, telecommunication enclosure, or a bulkhead. The exemplary cable sealing device comprises a unibody construction comprising a rigid body portion, the rigid portion having a generally tubular shape that includes an interior passageway extend from a first end to a second end of the rigid body portion; and an elastomeric body portion over molded onto and extending from an end of the rigid body portion, the elastomeric body portion comprises a front end having an interior sleeve that extends into interior passageway at the second end of rigid body portion and an exterior sealing sleeve that is formed over the second end of rigid body portion, and a closed end disposed opposite the open end, wherein the closed end includes a removable portion.

A water-resistant element, adapted to an opening, comprising a deformable body, a first plate and a second plate is provided. The first plate is disposed at and against a first side of the deformable body. The second plate is disposed at and against a second side of the deformable body. When the deformable body is disposed in the opening, a relative displacement between the first plate and the second plate is used to change a shape of the deformable body such that the deformable body closely fits the opening in order to block moisture from entering into the opening. In addition, an external connection wire module comprising the water-resistant element, an antenna box module comprising the external connection wire module and a method of fixing the water-resistant element at a housing are also provided.

The present disclosure relates to sealing arrangements for sealing locations where cables enter/exit enclosures. The sealing arrangements can include first and second cable sealing modules each including a cable sealing surface. The cable sealing surfaces of the first and second cable sealing modules oppose and contact one another at a cable pass-through sealing interface. The sealing arrangements can be adapted to enhance cable diameter range-taking, sealant conformability, and/or sealant recovery from deformation.
