Yes there are various types of gland available which connect the braided shield by various means. Some required the braid to be pigtailed and clamped in a slot in the gland while others work more like an SWA gland.Is there a 'correct' gland for this stuff? I've never installed any of it, but have performed maintenance and repair on installations using it, and the only glands I've come across are standard stuffing ones.
I haven't made any assumptions as to what YOU used it for, I said that I basically wouldn't use it.Again, you are making the assumption that it was used in a fixed installation. 7671 does not apply here.

Surprised by this TBH.
I've had one of those in my SWA gland box on the shelf for years. No idea where it came from, and, up until today, no idea what it was intended for.CXT | Single Seal Industrial Cable Gland | CMP Products Limited

"Isolated" being the operative word. Not waving around in space, a couple of mm from 400V terminals, like in the OP for this particular sub section of this thread.For some installations the braiding will need to be connected to earth at one end of the cable and isolated at the other end.
I'm worried we're catching them up, fast.I just came back from Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Italy…. And didn’t see anything as dumb as that.
France and Spain seem to be the worst for dodgy electrics…. But I’m not that well travelled. Just my observations.
