Glands

Description

Cable glands are connectors used to seal the ends of cables and secure them to plugs, terminals, enclosures or electrical equipment of various kinds.

Cable glands (also known as cable fittings or cord grips) are mechanical devices that provide strain relief, environmental sealing, and mechanical protection for cables entering electrical panels, machines, or enclosures. With options such as brass, stainless steel, nylon, and explosion-proof glands, they are essential for industries like automation, oil & gas, renewable energy, telecom, and marine applications.
