| Cable & Wire | Cable glands are bulkhead modules that allow barrier penetration while providing sealing protection. They are commonly known as sealing glands or strain reliefs and have the ability to seal around one or multiple wires, cables, or probes. They are available in plastic or metal configurations. Cable glands are sometimes configurable to work with any cable within a specified size range. Important specifications to consider when searching for cable glands include cable diameter, mounting hole diameter, and adjustable diameter. The cable diameter specifies the diameter of the cable that can be fed through the cable gland. The mounting hole diameter refers to the diameter of the barrier or bulkhead hole into which the gland is to be installed. The adjustable diameter is the cable gland can be adjusted to fit various sizes of cable. Common applications for cable glands include aerospace, cleanroom, fire protection, industrial, marine, panel or enclosure, power or utility, railway, and telecommunications. Aerospace cable glands are designed and rated for use on aircraft or space vehicles and/or equipment; may include applicable approvals for military and/or aircraft use. Cleanroom cable glands are suitable for use in a cleanroom environment with the associated properties of maintaining positive pressure, prevention of dust and fluid ingress, etc. Fire protection glands are designed and rated for prevention of fire propagation across the bulkhead or barrier. Industrial glands are used in industrial environments such as factories, process plants, mills, etc. Marine glands are designed for application on ships, or offshore mining and drilling settings. Panel or enclosure cable glands are specifically designed and rated for penetration into electrical panels and/or electromechanical assembly enclosures. Power and utility glands are designed for use with public utility equipment such as power transmission, distribution, and high voltage equipment. Railway glands are designed for use on trains and associated installations. Telecommunications glands are designed for use with communications cable or conduit. Choices for gland mounting include adhesive or compound, flanged or bolted, threaded or nut mount, welded, and cast. Common features for cable glands include firestop, explosion proof, EMI or RFI shielding, and pre-terminated cable accommodation. Firestop cable glands are designed to withstand fire propagation through barrier. Explosion proof cable glands are designed for some level of explosion safety. | ||

| Material | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aluminum | A bluish silver-white malleable ductile light trivalent metallic element that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Brass | Brass comes with good strength, excellent high temperature ductility and reasonable cold ductility, good conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, good bearing properties and low magnetic permeability. | ||
| Nylon / Polyamide | Nylon, comprising several grades of polyamides, is a general purpose material in wide use. It is tough and resistant and has good pressure ratings. | ||
| Polyester (PET / PBT) | Polyester resins can be formulated to be brittle, hard, tough, resilient, or soft and flexible. They can be filled with reinforcements such as glass fibers for outstanding strength and high strength-to-weight ratio. Polyesters also provide chemical resistance and other excellent mechanical properties. PET - Polyethylene terephthalate PBT - polybutylene terephthalate | ||
| Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) | Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an insoluble compound that exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and a low coefficient of friction. | ||
| PVC | Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used material that has good flexibility, a smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex). | ||
| Steel | Products are made of steel. | ||
| Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted materials. | ||
