The glands are compliant with BS 6121 and EN 50262, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial uses, including panel and enclosure entries. They maintain mechanical strength and electrical performance for SWA cables, supporting both low and high-voltage installations up to 1200V DC.

FAQs of CW Cable Glands (3 Parts):

Q: How do CW Cable Glands ensure protection against dust and water?

A: CW Cable Glands are designed with an effective compression sealing mechanism, which provides a dust- and water-tight seal according to IP66/IP67 ratings. This ensures the electrical connection remains protected even in extreme industrial or outdoor environments.

Q: What is the recommended process for installing these cable glands?

A: Installation involves inserting the cable through the gland, tightening the armour clamping ring, and compressing the sealing component. The assembly is completed with the supplied lock nut, and optional accessories like earth tags and PVC shrouds can be fitted for enhanced safety and performance.

Q: When should I select a nickel-plated versus natural brass finish?

A: Nickel-plated finishes are recommended for environments where extra corrosion resistance is required, while the natural brass finish is suitable for standard industrial conditions. Both finishes offer durability, but nickel-plating provides additional protection against harsh chemicals or saline conditions.

Q: Where can CW Cable Glands be used effectively?

A: These cable glands are ideal for terminating steel wire armoured cables in electrical panels, junction boxes, and a variety of industrial enclosures. They are commonly utilized in power distribution, manufacturing facilities, and outdoor electrical installations.

Q: What accessories are included, and what is their benefit?

A: Each gland is supplied with a lock nut and earth tag, with a PVC shroud available as an option. The lock nut secures the gland in place, the earth tag provides grounding for safety, and the PVC shroud offers additional protection against weather and dust ingress.

Q: Which standards do these glands comply with, and why is this important?

A: CW Cable Glands strictly adhere to BS 6121 and EN 50262 standards. This ensures their quality, reliability, and suitability for industrial cable termination, offering assurance that they meet recognized benchmarks for safety and performance.
