A Cable Gland (referred to as a cable connector or fitting in the U.S.) is a device crafted to fasten and secure the end of a cable to equipment. It offers strain relief and connects using a method suitable for the specific type and description of cable it’s designed for—including provisions for establishing electrical connections to the cable’s armor or braid, as well as the lead or aluminum sheath, if applicable. Additionally, Cable Glands can be utilized for sealing cables passing through bulkheads or gland plates.
Cable Glands are mechanical cable entry devices and can be constructed from metallic or non-metallic materials. They are used throughout a number of industries in conjunction with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems.
Cable Glands may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data and telecommunications cables. They are used as a sealing and termination device to ensure that the characteristics of the enclosure which the cable enters can be maintained adequately.
