Cable Gland – IP68 Rated, Nylon, Brass, and Stainless Steel Options
A cable gland is an essential component in electrical and instrumentation systems, designed to securely attach and connect electrical cables to equipment while providing strain relief and environmental protection. This versatile device seals around a cable where it enters an enclosure, preventing the ingress of dust, moisture, and other contaminants. Available in various materials like nylon, brass, and stainless steel, and with protection ratings up to IP68, the right cable gland ensures the safety, integrity, and longevity of electrical installations in virtually any environment, from industrial control panels to hazardous locations.
Key Features and Benefits of Our Cable Glands:
- Superior Environmental Sealing: Our cable glands provide excellent sealing against dust, water, and oils, with protection levels up to IP68 for complete submersion protection. This is crucial for maintaining system reliability in harsh conditions. Learn more about IP ratings from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
- Robust Material Options: Choose from high-quality materials to suit your application: Nylon for general purpose use, Brass for corrosion resistance and EMI shielding, and Stainless Steel (A2/A4) for extreme corrosion and chemical resistance in demanding environments.
- Effective Strain Relief: The internal clamping mechanism secures the cable, absorbing vibrations and preventing pull-out, which protects electrical connections from damage and ensures operational safety.
- EMI Shielding Capability: Metallic cable glands (brass and stainless steel) provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from signal interference.
- Easy Installation and Wide Compatibility: Designed for easy installation with standard tools, these glands accommodate a wide range of cable diameters and are compatible with various enclosure wall thicknesses.
