Cable Gland is the \u2018mechanical cable entry device\u2019 attached to the end of electrical cables and secures them to any piece of equipment. They are also commonly known as cable connectors, cable fittings, cord grips, or cable strain reliefs.<\/p>\n

Cable Glands<\/a> are vital for terminating cables in harsh or hazardous areas where sealing and ingress protection is required. These are very important for electrical equipment and switch gears as they offer strain relief and can also be connected to the aluminium sheath or armour of the cable.<\/p>\n

As mechanical cable entry devices, cable glands can be constructed from metallic or non-metallic materials. Cable glands are necessary across many industries, which use these in conjunction with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems. They are used on the cable of all available sizes and types. Its primary role is to safely pass a tube, wire, or cable through an enclosure. However, they are also required to protect electrical parts from flames that may take place in hazardous areas.<\/p>\n

Purpose of Cable Glanding:<\/h2>\n

As mechanical fittings, they form part of the electrical installation. They are used to strengthen the attachments of cables with the electrical equipment to which the cable is attached. They protect:<\/p>\n

1) The entrance out of the equipment from dust<\/p>\n

2)From being twisted at the connecting point to the equipment<\/p>\n

These glands<\/a> are for all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data, and telecommunications cables. As a sealing and termination device, they ensure that the characteristics of the enclosure through which the cable enters can be properly maintained.<\/p>\n

Why do you need Cable Glands?<\/h5>\n

For cable management, the cable gland serves multiple roles for protecting the attached cable equipment.<\/p>\n

What kind of protection do they provide?<\/h5>\n
