Product Information

Cable Protection: Cable glands provide strain relief, which prevents cables from being pulled or twisted at the point of entry into equipment. This helps to protect the cables from damage and ensures longevity. Cable glands, also known as cable connectors or cable fittings, are mechanical devices used to securely attach and seal cables to equipment, enclosures, or surfaces while providing protection against environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and even the entry of gases or liquids. They are commonly used in various industries, including electrical, telecommunications, manufacturing, and construction.

Safety: Cable glands can help prevent dangerous situations such as electrical shorts or fires by providing a secure and proper connection between cables and equipment.

What are cable glands used for?

Ingress protection - The IP rating can also be a key feature to consider when selecting a cable gland. IP-rated glands offer extra protection to reduce the ingress of dust and moisture. Protection classes range from IP44 to IP69K. The most popular is IP67 or IP68. Plastic glands - Due to their clamp and seal design, plastic glands have a wider cable entry range. They are ideal for flexible cables and provide high strain relief. Plastic glands include polyamide and nylon. Cable Management: Cable glands help organize and manage cables, keeping them neat and well-arranged within enclosures or equipment.

Our range of 20mm conduit glands, also known as stuffing glands, are designed for cable insulation and protection through chassis. UL94V2 approved, these glands are suitable for protecting and fixing cables in control panels and apparatus. The 20mm stuffing glands have an IP68 rating, which means they are waterproof and can be used in all weather conditions. Environmental Sealing: Cable glands typically have features that allow for effective sealing against external elements. They prevent dust, dirt, water, and other contaminants from entering into the equipment or enclosure, thereby safeguarding the components inside.
