Why Do We Use Cable Glands?
- To firmly secure cable entering a piece of equipment.
- To maintain the ingress protection of the piece of equipment (minimum of IP54 for 'e' and 'n' type enclosures. Where the
enclosure wall thickness is less than 6mm a sealing washer or thread sealant will be required to maintain IP54 protection).
- To maintain earth continuity between a piece of equipment and any armouring in the cable.
- To ensure containment of an internal explosion in flameproof equipment |
