NOTE: See Chart below for sizing / selection.
Cable glands are essential components in electrical and instrumentation systems.
- Description:
- Cable glands are mechanical cable devices that attach and secure cables to electrical equipment, enclosures, or panels.
- They provide a seal around the cable, ensuring protection against environmental factors.
- Where they are used:
- They are widely used in various industries, including:
- Industrial automation
- Electrical installations
- Telecommunications
- Marine applications
- Outdoor electrical installations
- Benefits:
- Environmental protection: They prevent the ingress of dust, moisture, and other contaminants into electrical enclosures.
- Cable retention: They secure cables, preventing them from being pulled out or twisted, which could damage electrical connections.
- Strain relief: They protect cables from mechanical stress.
- Water intrusion: They can help to maintain the IP rating of an electrical enclosure.
