Cable Gland

A cable gland, also known as a cable connector or cable fitting, is a device used to securely attach and seal the end of an electrical cable to an electrical enclosure or device. Cable glands provide protection against dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, and help prevent the cable from being pulled or twisted, which can damage the cable or disrupt its electrical connection.

Cable glands typically consist of a threaded housing and a rubber or plastic seal that is used to secure the cable to the enclosure or device. The housing is threaded onto a hole in the enclosure or device, and the cable is fed through the seal and into the housing, where it is clamped or secured in place.

Cable glands come in various sizes and types to accommodate different types and sizes of cables, and can be made of different materials such as plastic, metal, or brass. Some cable glands are designed for use in hazardous environments and provide extra protection against explosion, fire, or other hazards.

Cable glands are commonly used in industries such as electrical, telecommunications, and automation, and are an essential component in the installation of electrical equipment and systems.
