A resin pot assembly for use with a barrier cable gland is provided. The resin pot assembly is shaped and dimensioned to locate within an internal cavity of a cooperating barrier cable gland and has a closable end configured to seal onto a cable sheath of a cable in an installed condition. The resin pot assembly has two, coaxial components configured in the installed condition to surround a plurality of individually electrically insulated conductors extending out of the cable sheath. A first hollow component in the form of a clear cylinder provides the closable end of the resin pot assembly and a second hollow component, which is rigid, provides an pen end of the resin pot assembly and is axially spaced apart from the closable end of the resin pot assembly. The resin pot assembly operatively receives a resin mix therein.
