Cable Glands
Cable glands 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. Cable glands 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 cable glands. Singe compression cable glands are typically used for smaller installations within buildings and double compression cable glands which are used in factories and power plants where stronger seals are required. Double compression glands have double sealing and double compression at the cable core and on the outer sheathing.
Cable glands are generally made of metals or plastics. Metallic cable glands 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 cable glands 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.
