Cable connectors, also known as cable glands, cord grips, or strain relief fittings, are essential components for securing and protecting electrical cables at their point of entry into enclosures, junction boxes, or equipment. These devices provide mechanical retention, strain relief, and often environmental sealing to maintain the ingress protection (IP) rating of the assembly. Available in various materials such as brass, nickel-plated brass, stainless steel, and plastic (nylon or polyamide), cable connectors accommodate a wide range of cable diameters and are designed for different installation environments. Key technical parameters include thread size (metric PG, NPT, or G), clamping range, degree of protection (IP68, IP69K), and temperature resistance. Many models feature EMC shielding capabilities, explosion-proof certifications (ATEX, IECEx), or specific approvals for food and beverage or marine applications.
Cable connectors are deployed across virtually all industrial sectors where electrical installations require reliable cable management. Common applications include control panels, automation systems, motor connection boxes, lighting fixtures, sensor and actuator wiring, and fieldbus network terminations. They are critical in harsh environments such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, water treatment plants, food processing lines, and offshore platforms. In building automation, they secure cables in HVAC systems, security cameras, and access control devices. The versatility of cable connectors makes them indispensable for both indoor and outdoor installations, including direct burial and high-pressure washdown zones.
Within the category of cable connectors, several subcategories address specific installation needs. The most common are standard cable glands (metric and PG thread), EMC cable glands for electromagnetic compatibility, hazardous area cable glands (Ex d, Ex e, Ex i), and multi-hole cable glands for multiple cables. Key article codes often follow a pattern such as 'M20x1.5' for metric thread size, 'PG11' for PG thread, or '1/2 NPT' for NPT thread. For example, a typical brass cable gland might be coded as 'CG-M20-12' where 'CG' denotes cable gland, 'M20' the thread, and '12' the clamping range in mm. Other common codes include 'HSK-M' for halogen-free versions or 'EMC-M' for EMC variants. These codes are standardized across major manufacturers like Weidmüller, Phoenix Contact, Lapp, and ABB.
