The cable in the animation looks more like a screened/braided cable than an armoured.

Yeah you're right, although the start of the vid mentions armoured cable ? I have had them introduced to me as for use with armoured in the wholesalers, but then when you are dealing with glands for cable made by a company called SWA the potential for confusion is increased.
 
i'll never master a computer while i have a hole in my arse. spawn of the devil. never do what you want them to do, and then they mix it all up. still what do we expect from something that can only count to 2.

Count to 1...1, or zero...yer luddite ;):cool:

Unless that Amstrad,of yours,is working on duonary (It's one step up from binary)
 
I can see the plastic body of these splitting after a while in situ thus releasing the pressure on the brass ring holding the armour in.

I come across plastic glands which have split as a result of slight overtightening when originally installed on a depressingly regular basis.
 
Thanks.
Was told by the supplier that they were for SY cable, I wanted a second opinion in-case I was losing it!
The packets were labeled wrong.

Not necessarily, if they are made for SY that would explain the cross hatching on the cone which isn't normally there in an SWS gland.
What does it say on the packet, what is the brand an dpart number?
Is there anything stamped on the gland to identify type, BS etc?
