How useful are cable glands?

[Bennachie]

Anyone have any experience of using off-the-shelf cable glands for hull penetration? What sort of depth rating can you get from them?
I'm looking at options for passing my thruster & light cables through the hull.

Thanks!

I bought a bunch of them years ago but unfortunately I never got around to testing them so I'm curious about this too.

@Bennachie,

Don't know about cable glands, but I make my own bulkhead cable penetrators using these components:
