the depth range does not depend on the cable glands shown on the pictures: the gland serves only to enter the breather, the do not seal more then the pressure diff between in and outside of the breather

sealing is done with potting the cables both sides, the hud-cable, and the cell-cable: even the side of the molex connectors the cables are interrupted and potted

I agree on the HUD side since I don't think there is any air cavity with everything potted.

However, if you have any compartment sealed at 1 atm (which the gauge shown in the picture above the SPG looks like at 1 atm) than the cable gland will see a true differential pressure at depth.
