Wire & Cable Accessories

Cable glands or cord grips are devices that are secured to the end of an electrical cable and then attached to a piece of equipment. The main purpose of a cable gland is to provide a tight seal at the entry point and to prevent the cable from being twisted or pulled from the equipment.

Cable strains are located at the base of a connector where the cable meets the connector to provide stress relief and prevent breaking. Cable strains can be segmented or look like a sleeve to allow some bending but still provide adequate support.

Cable ties are a type of fastener designed to hold electrical wires and cables together. Cable ties are generally made of nylon with a slot through which a notched cable is threaded and pulled back to lock. Some cable ties are straps with velcro for easy fastening and unfastening.

Cord grips or cable glands are devices that are secured to the end of an electrical cable and then attached to a piece of equipment. The main purpose of a cord grip is to provide a tight seal at the entry point and to prevent the cable from being twisted or pulled from the equipment.

Cable mounts or mounting pads can be used in conjunction with cable ties to secure bundled cables and wires to a fixed support or piece of equipment.

Wire connectors (ferrules) are small metal rings or tubes that are placed over stranded wire that is stripped from insulation and crimped into place. This protects the wire strands from fraying and allows them to be inserted into a terminal compartment.

Wire terminals are designed to terminate a conductor that will attach to a fixture to make an electrical connection. They are used in places where repeated assembly and disassembly is required.
