Cable Gland Accessories: The Essential Components for Unrivaled System Integrity and Protection

Ensure the absolute reliability, safety, and longevity of your electrical installations with our comprehensive range of Cable Gland Accessories. While cable glands form the initial protective barrier, it's the right accessories that elevate their performance, adaptability, and compliance to the highest standards. From enhancing sealing to facilitating grounding and adapting to unique thread requirements, our accessories are engineered to complete your cable management solution.

Why Cable Gland Accessories are Indispensable:

Cable gland accessories are more than just add-ons; they are critical components that:

• Enhance Protection: Reinforce IP (Ingress Protection) and IK (Impact Protection) ratings, safeguarding against dust, water, and mechanical stress.
• Ensure Safety & Compliance: Facilitate proper grounding, meet hazardous area requirements, and maintain system integrity.
• Increase Versatility: Adapt cable glands to a wider array of applications, enclosure types, and environmental conditions.
• Simplify Installation: Streamline the setup process, saving time and ensuring a secure fit.
• Extend Lifespan: Protect glands and cables from environmental factors, vibrations, and corrosion.

Explore Our Comprehensive Range of Cable Gland Accessories:

We offer a robust selection of accessories manufactured from high-quality materials to suit diverse industrial, commercial, and hazardous area applications.

1. Locknuts

• Function: Provide secure fastening of the cable gland to the enclosure or panel, preventing loosening due to vibration or movement.
• Features: Available in various thread types (Metric, NPT, PG, G) and materials including Nickel-plated Brass, Stainless Steel (304, 316), and Polyamide.
• Benefits: Ensures a stable and vibration-resistant connection, maintaining the integrity of the cable entry point.

2. Sealing Washers / O-Rings

• Function: Create a tight, watertight, and dust-proof seal between the cable gland and the mounting surface.
• Features: Manufactured from resilient materials like NBR, Silicone, EPDM, or Neoprene, offering excellent resistance to oils, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
• Benefits: Crucial for achieving specified IP ratings (e.g., IP66, IP67, IP68), preventing ingress of liquids and particulates into enclosures.

3. Reducers

• Function: Enable the use of a smaller cable gland with an enclosure opening that has a larger thread size.
• Features: Available in various male-to-female thread combinations (e.g., M32 to M25, 1" NPT to 3/4" NPT). Materials include Nickel-plated Brass, Stainless Steel, and Polyamide.
• Benefits: Provides flexibility in installation, reducing the need for costly panel modifications or custom glands.

4. Enlargers / Adapters

• Function: Allow the installation of a larger cable gland into an enclosure opening that has a smaller thread size.
• Features: Available in various male-to-female thread combinations (e.g., M25 to M32, 3/4" NPT to 1" NPT). Materials include Nickel-plated Brass, Stainless Steel, and Polyamide.
• Benefits: Offers adaptability, making it possible to use standard glands with pre-existing or non-standard drilled holes.

5. Blanking Plugs

• Function: Seal unused cable gland entry holes in an enclosure, maintaining the specified IP rating and aesthetic integrity.
• Features: Available in various thread types and materials (Nickel-plated Brass, Stainless Steel, Polyamide) to match the enclosure and gland system.
• Benefits: Essential for maintaining environmental protection in panels where not all entries are utilized, preventing dust and moisture ingress.

6. Breather Plugs

• Function: Allow for pressure equalization and moisture management within enclosures, preventing condensation build-up and vacuum effects.
• Features: Often incorporate a permeable membrane (e.g., PTFE) that allows air exchange but repels water. Available in various thread types and materials.
• Benefits: Extends the life of internal components, especially in environments with significant temperature fluctuations, by reducing condensation-related corrosion.

7. Earth Tags / Grounding Tags

• Function: Provide a reliable and continuous earth connection between the cable gland and the equipment/enclosure, vital for safety and EMC.
• Features: Typically made from copper or brass, designed to fit between the gland and the locknut.
• Benefits: Ensures effective grounding, dissipating electrical charges and enhancing personnel safety, particularly in metallic systems.

8. Serrated Washers / EMC Washers

• Function: Provide improved electrical contact for grounding purposes and/or prevent the loosening of locknuts through mechanical friction.
• Features: Toothed design in conductive materials like stainless steel or zinc-plated steel. Some are specifically designed for EMC applications to ensure shield continuity.
• Benefits: Enhances electrical bonding, improves EMC performance, and adds mechanical security against loosening due to vibration.

9. Drain Plugs

• Function: Allow for the removal of accumulated condensation or liquids from the lowest point of an enclosure.
• Features: Typically made from conductive materials like brass or stainless steel, often with a simple screw-in design.
• Benefits: Prevents pooling of water, which can damage internal components or compromise insulation.
