Cord Grips
Cord grips are connectors used to secure and seal the ends of cables to terminals, enclosures or electrical equipment. They can be used on all types of cables including: telecommunication, data and electrical. Cord grips are designed to attach cables in place and prevent them from being twisted or pulled out. They provide additional support against cable strain and prevent dirt, dust and moisture from entering.
There are two main types of cord grips. Singe compression cord grips are typically used for smaller installations within buildings and double compression cord grips which are used in factories and power plants where stronger seals are required. Double compression grips have double sealing and double compression at the cable core and on the outer sheathing.
Cord grips are generally made of metals or plastics. Metallic cord grips can be made of stainless steel, aluminum or nickel-plated brass. They provide long-term durability, rigid stability and thermal and electrical conductivity. They are ideal for applications where mechanical strength and chemical stability are required. Plastic cord grips can be made of polyamide or nylon. They are resistant to grease, weak acids and salt water. They are an ideal choice for industries with corrosive environments.
