A cable termination device of the dry type, including an insulator housing with an upper end and a lower end and having a hollow interior, which lower end has an opening for insertion of the cable. The device further includes a stress controller device located inside the insulator housing and adapted to be mounted on a high voltage cable, and an electrically insulating gel filling at least part of the hollow interior of the insulator housing and surrounding at least part of the stress controller device. Further, the stress controller device extends from the lower end of the insulator housing and into the housing where it has a free end, whereby a space is formed between the stress controller device and an inner wall of the insulator housing.
