A connector for an armored cable including a connector body having an opening extending therethrough and a gland nut telescopically engageable with the connector body. The gland nut has an aperture for receiving the armored cable. The connector further includes a sealing ring positionable within the gland nut and has an inner annular surface engageable with the armored cable for sealing about same on an opposed outer annular surface. The sealing ring includes an annular groove formed about an outer surface thereof, and the groove permits the sealing ring to diametrically contract upon linear compression of the sealing ring. In addition, an isolating device is provided that is positionable about the sealing ring for frictionally isolating the sealing ring from the gland nut and permitting the gland nut to rotate substantially independently of the sealing ring.

[ We claim:] [1.] A connector for an armored cable comprising:a connector body having a generally longitudinal opening extending therethrough and having a first end;a gland nut telescopically engageable with said first end of said connector body, said gland nut having a first end, said gland nut first end having an aperture adapted to receive the armored cable;a sealing ring positionable within said gland nut and having an inner annular surface engageable with the armored cable for sealing about an opposed outer annular surface of the armored cable, said sealing ring further including a side wall extending between two opposed end walls;anda cylinder having an uniform diameter and a length equal to or greater than a length of said sealing ring, said sealing ring being positioned within said cylinder such that said side wall is covered by said cylinder, whereby said sealing ring side wall is isolated from said gland nut by said cylinder thereby permitting said gland nut to rotate substantially independently of said sealing ring.
