Specification

About:

• CX Brass Glands with Steel Locknuts are essential components used to terminate and secure the ends of armoured and rubber-sheathed cables. These glands ensure a robust connection, providing mechanical support and maintaining the integrity of the electrical system. They are widely used in industrial, outdoor, and hazardous environments.

Also Known As:

• Cable Gland
• Cable Connector
• Brass Gland
• CMP Gland
• Armoured Cable Gland

Application:

• Industrial power distribution systems
• Electrical control panels and switchgear
• Automation and control systems
• Outdoor electrical installations
• Hazardous and explosive environments (with appropriate certifications)
• Offshore and marine applications
• Infrastructure and construction projects

Standard:

• BS 6121: British Standard for metal cable glands, ensuring safety and performance
• EN 62444: European standard for cable glands
• IEC 60079: International Electrotechnical Commission standard for equipment in explosive atmospheres (if Ex rated)
• NEMA 4X: Standard for enclosures that protect against corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and hose-directed water

Construction:
