What are Cable Glands?
Cable glands, also known as cable entry fittings, are used to protect cables and wires in a variety of applications. They may be used individually or in conjunction with other fittings and accessories. They are generally made from metal or plastic, and can be found in a variety of sizes and styles.
The primary purpose of a cable gland is to provide protection from moisture and other contaminants for cables passing through walls, floors, ceilings and more.
They are commonly used on fire alarms, security systems, power lines, telecommunications equipment, HVAC systems, electrical conduits and more.
Cable glands are installed near the end of the cable run to prevent water infiltration during installation or use of the system being protected.
How Do Cable Glands Work?
Cable glands are devices that are used to seal the end of a cable. They prevent moisture from entering the cable and also prevent dust from entering.
The cable gland is attached to a body, which is then inserted into an outer casing. The outer casing is made of plastic or metal and it provides protection against water and prevents corrosion.
The cable gland works by preventing any moisture or dust from entering the cable through its end. This allows for the cables to be used in different environments without fear of damage due to these factors.
Types of Cable Glands
There are many, many kinds of cable glands to choose from.
Here are some of the most common:
1. Crimped Cable Glands
These are the most common types of cable glands. They use a crimping process to secure the wires inside them, and they can be found in a variety of sizes and materials.
2. Metallic Cable Glands
These types of cable glands come in a wide range of sizes and materials, but they’re typically used for high-voltage cables because they’re made from metal.
3. Neoprene Cable Glands
These are often used for medium voltage cables, as well as some low voltage applications. They have a rubber seal that makes them waterproof and very durable in rough environments.
4. Rubber Cable Glands
These are often used for low-voltage applications, but they can also be used in medium voltage cables. They’re made from neoprene rubber, which is very durable and waterproof.
Cable Gland Size Guide
When choosing a cable gland for your project, consider the following factors to select the correct size:
1) If you want to use a grommet with your cable gland, make sure that the grommet fits inside the internal diameter of your chosen cable gland. This will ensure that there is no interference between the two components.
2) You should also take into account whether or not you’ll be applying heat to your cable gland. This will affect how much pressure is put on it during installation and use. For example, if you’re installing your cable glands in an area where they will be exposed to extreme temperatures, you may need to purchase a higher-pressure rating than normal.
3) Finally, keep in mind that some cable glands require more material than others—for example, if they have multiple ports or tabs on them—so keep this in mind when choosing which one best fits your needs!
How to Install a Cable Gland?
Installing a cable gland is an easy process that can be done by anyone with enough time and patience.
To start, you will need to find the correct size of cable gland for your application. There are many different sizes available, so make sure you get one that fits your needs. If you buy the wrong size, it may not fit correctly or could cause damage to the cable.
Once you have the correct sized cable gland, it’s time to prepare for installation. First and foremost, make sure that the metal plate is clean before installing the cable gland on top of it.
If there is any debris around or on top of where you’re going to put the new one, this could cause problems later down the road when trying to keep water out of your building/room where cables are being installed into walls/floors etc.
After cleaning off any debris from around where you’ll be installing this new piece of equipment (which will be screwed onto existing ones), take off any old ones first before putting in new ones onto walls/floors etc.
You can use a screwdriver for this part if needed but just make sure not too tight so no damage happens during installation if someone bumps into them by accident while walking around inside the building etc.
Uses of Metallic Cable Glands
Metallic cable glands are used in a variety of situations. They’re commonly used to protect cables that run through walls and other areas, and they can also be used to secure specific types of cables.
Here are some common uses for Metallic cable glands:
- Protecting cables from damage caused by impact or abrasion
- Securing electrical cables and lines
- Preventing water from entering crevices where electrical lines run through walls and ceilings
- Keeping moisture out of the area where a wire’s insulation is vulnerable
- Protecting wires and cables in situations where they’re exposed to extreme temperatures, such as in the attic or outdoors
