Cable gland
A cable gland for securing a cable to a box comprises a tightening element configured to surround the cable, the tightening element having at least two connecting ends mutually approachable to tighten the tightening element on the cable, and a gland body extending along an axial direction between a first end and a second end, the gland body defining a passing through channel extending along the axial direction between the first end and the second end and configured to receive the cable passing through the first and second ends, the gland body surrounding at least partially the tightening element. The cable gland comprises a first locking arrangement configured to lock along the axial direction the gland body relative to the tightening element.

The present disclosure relates to a sealed closure having modular components, enhanced cable sealing, modular connection interfaces, enhanced cable anchoring and enhanced fiber management.
Butt closures and bases therefor
A butt closure base includes a base housing defining a plurality of cavities. A first gel is disposed in each of the plurality of cavities. The butt closure base further includes a plurality of wedge assemblies, each of the plurality of wedge assemblies removably insertable into one of the plurality of cavities. Each of the plurality of wedge assemblies includes an outer cover, a second gel, and a main pressure plate in contact with the second gel. The main pressure plate is movable along a longitudinal axis to apply pressure to the second gel. Each of the plurality of wedge assemblies further includes a latch assembly. The latch assembly includes an adjustable tab and a stop member movable between a first position which limits movement of the adjustable tab and a second position in which movement of the adjustable tab is not limited by the stop member.

Cable leadthrough device
A cable leadthrough device for leading a cable through an opening in a wall, having a housing that can be fastened in the area of the opening, wherein the cable can be led through the housing along a leadthrough channel parallel to a leadthrough axis, and also having a strain relief device—with at least one clamping element for clamping a cable led through the leadthrough channel, wherein the clamping element is mounted so as to be movable on the housing, by a guide device, along a guide axis inclined in relation to the leadthrough axis, between a clamping position, in which it radially narrows the leadthrough channel, and a release position, in which it releases the leadthrough channel, and a force application system being provided for generating a driving force with a force component that acts along the guide axis and pushes the clamping element towards its clamping position.
