In one aspect of the present invention, an accessible indirect entry
cable gland has a collar having a first end, an opposite, second end, and a first bore adapted for receiving a cable having one or more electrical conductors from the first end thereof and passing the cable through the second end thereof into a flameproof
enclosure, a
flame-resistant
bushing filling a first part of the first bore of the collar at the second end thereof and adapted for passing the cable therethrough and holding the cable in place, and a cap having a first end and an opposite, second end, and a second bore adapted for receiving the cable from the first end thereof and passing the cable having one or more electrical conductors through the second end thereof into the collar. The accessible indirect entry
cable gland further has an o-ring positioned adjacent to the first end of the cap and gripping a jacket of the cable, and a clamp adapted for
mating with the first end of the cap so that the clamp and the cap can be fastened and re-fastened together after being un-fastened, wherein, when the clamp and the cap are fastened together, the clamp exerts a pressure on the o-ring against the jacket of the cable, thereby to retain the cable against movement with respect to the accessible indirect entry
cable gland.
