Cord Grips
RSP Supply carries a full line of strain relief cord grips designed to secure electrical cables and protect them from mechanical stress, environmental exposure, and premature failure. Cord grips are commonly used where cables enter control panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment housings. By firmly gripping the cable jacket, these devices prevent tension, bending, or pulling forces from being transferred to internal conductors or termination points.
Cord grips work in conjunction with cable glands to create a tight, reliable seal around the cable. This seal helps keep out moisture, dust, dirt, and other contaminants while maintaining proper strain relief. In industrial environments, where cables are frequently exposed to vibration, movement, or harsh conditions, cord grips play a critical role in extending cable life and maintaining system safety.
Available in a variety of sizes, materials, and configurations, cord grips may include features such as arc-resistant designs or integrated filtering components. They are generally easy to install and provide a dependable alternative to less secure cable management methods. Cord grips are suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations where maintaining cable integrity and enclosure protection is essential.
