What are cable glands and cable protection used for?

The cable and wiring systems that carry power, signal & data to and from technology are critical elements that are essential for maintaining the reliability of the equipment being used. This means that cables, cords, and wires need to be carefully protected from the risk of damage to ensure operations continue to run profitably, regardless of the industry you are in. Cable glands are, therefore, often located in hazardous environments, and offer a range of beneficial capabilities, including:

• Insulation
• Grounding

• Sealing
