Cable glands, also known as cable connectors or fittings, are devices designed to attach and seal cables securely to equipment, enclosures, or surfaces. These components provide critical protection against environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and potential gas or liquid intrusions. 

Cable glands are widely utilised across industries such as electrical, telecommunications, manufacturing, and construction. They vary in size, material, and design to suit different cable types and requirements. Typically, a cable gland comprises a body, a sealing element—like a rubber or elastomeric seal—a locknut, and occasionally, additional components such as gaskets or washers.

## **Types of Cable Glands**

### **Metal Cable Glands**

Metal cable glands are designed for demanding environments, offering robust protection. Common materials include brass, stainless steel, and nickel-plated brass, making them suitable for harsh conditions.

### **Plastic Cable Glands**

Plastic cable glands, crafted from durable materials such as PVC and nylon, feature a versatile clamp and seal design that accommodates a broad spectrum of cable sizes. Ideal for flexible cables, they provide superior strain relief and are available in various lengths, including 20mm, to meet diverse installation needs.

### **Threaded Cable Glands**

Threaded cable glands come in two main types: metric (M) and Panzer-Gewinde (PG). Metric threads range from M6 to M63, while PG threads range from PG7 to PG21. These glands often include a locknut, which can also be purchased separately.

### **IP-Rated Cable Glands**

IP-rated cable glands offer enhanced protection against dust and moisture ingress. Protection ratings vary, with IP44 to IP69K available, though IP67 and IP68 are among the most sought after for their robust defence against environmental elements.

### **Hazardous Area Cable Glands**

Hazardous area cable glands are engineered for use in high-risk or dangerous environments. They ensure safe cable entries in explosive or volatile settings, maintaining integrity and safety. The compression gland is often used in these settings for its ability to provide a tight, secure seal around the cable.

## **What Are Cable Glands Used For?**
- **Cable Protection:** Cable glands provide strain relief, which prevents cables from being pulled or twisted at the point of entry into equipment. This helps to protect the cables from damage and ensures longevity.
- **Environmental Sealing:** Cable glands typically have features that allow for effective sealing against external elements. They prevent dust, dirt, water, and other contaminants from entering into the equipment or enclosure, thereby safeguarding the components inside.
- **Safety:** Cable glands can help prevent dangerous situations such as electrical shorts or fires by providing a secure and proper connection between cables and equipment.
- **Cable Management:** Cable glands help organise and manage cables, keeping them neat and well-arranged within enclosures or equipment.
