Cable Glands

Cable Gland Kit Pack Cable glands, also known as cable connectors or cable fittings, are devices used to securely attach and seal the ends of cables to equipment, enclosures, or junction boxes. They play a crucial role in providing protection against environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and gases while also preventing the cable from being pulled out or becoming loose. Cable glands are used in a variety of industries, including electrical, telecommunications, automation, and more.

Here are some key points about cable glands:

Function: The primary functions of cable glands include:

Cable Entry:Cable glands allow cables to pass through walls, enclosures, or equipment while maintaining a tight seal around the cable to prevent the entry of contaminants.
Strain Relief:Cable glands provide strain relief by preventing the cable from bending excessively at the point where it enters the equipment. This helps prevent damage to the cable’s insulation and conductors.
Sealing:Cable glands come with various sealing mechanisms such as compression seals, rubber gaskets, or sealing compounds, ensuring that the connection point remains watertight and airtight.

Types: There are various types of cable glands available, each designed for specific applications and environments:

Standard Glands:These are used for general applications where a cable needs to be securely connected to an enclosure or equipment.
Armoured Cable Glands:Designed for armoured cables, these glands provide additional protection and strain relief for cables with metal armour.
EMC Glands:Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) glands are designed to minimize electromagnetic interference and provide a reliable grounding connection.
Flameproof Glands:Used in hazardous environments, flameproof glands are designed to prevent the propagation of flames or explosions along the cable pathway.
Hygienic Glands:These are used in industries with strict hygiene requirements, such as food and pharmaceuticals, to prevent the accumulation of dirt or contaminants.

Materials: Cable glands are made from various materials to suit different environmental conditions and applications. These materials include Brass and Stainless Steel).

In summary, cable glands are essential components for protecting cables and ensuring reliable connections in various industries. They offer protection against environmental factors and contribute to the overall integrity of electrical systems and equipment.
