What is a cable gland?

Cable glands are a standard cable entry device. They are handy accessories for ensuring a tight seal and complete protection from the area which the cable is feeding into. They work by being screwed into an already threaded hole or socket. The wire, still sealing the wall or enclosure, will then enter through the carefully sized hole. RS PRO nickel plated brass cable glands are rated at IP68, which provide excellent use within indoor or outdoor environments.

What are cable glands used for?

There are various types of applications that would benefit from or require a cable gland. Used by electrical engineers who need to run cables and wires through to an area that will need to be enclosed or sealed. Typical applications include;

• Machinery with delicate internals
• Telecommunications
• Flowmeters
• Underwater power generators
