Wide-Range Brass Cable Gland
The Wide-Range Brass Cable Gland features an engineered multi-slot clamping claw and a progressive sealing ring, providing an extended cable clamping range per individual gland size. Manufactured from precision-machined forged brass with a corrosion-resistant nickel-plated finish, it ensures reliable mechanical strain relief, continuous earth continuity, and IP68 liquid-tight protection for demanding industrial electrical enclosures.
Product Overview
The Wide-Range Brass Cable Gland features an engineered multi-slot clamping claw and a progressive sealing ring, providing an extended cable clamping range per individual gland size. Manufactured from precision-machined forged brass with a corrosion-resistant nickel-plated finish, it ensures reliable mechanical strain relief, continuous earth continuity, and IP68 liquid-tight protection for demanding industrial electrical enclosures.
Key Features
Extended Clamping Range: Progressive inner lamellar seal accommodates wider cable outer diameter variations, reducing SKU diversity and inventory holding for panel builders.
Heavy-Duty Brass Body: Solid H59/H62 forged brass construction delivers high mechanical strength, impact resistance, and inherent electromagnetic shielding (EMC compliance).
Progressive Clamping Mechanism: Internal multi-slot fingers distribute radial clamping pressure uniformly around the cable sheath to prevent pull-out and torsional twisting.
Continuous Ingress Protection: Elastomeric sealing ring (EPDM / NBR) forms a reliable 360-degree seal against dust, moisture, and industrial fluids.

Regulatory Compliance: Manufactured in compliance with relevant EN standards; fully RoHS and REACH compliant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a wide-range cable gland reduce inventory costs?
A: A wide-range gland features an extended lamellar clamping design. One single gland model covers a broader span of cable diameters (e.g., 6–12 mm), allowing panel builders to stock fewer SKUs while covering various cable specs.
Q: Which thread types are available in standard stock?
A: Metric (ISO) and PG threads are maintained in standard inventory. NPT and G threads are available via scheduled production runs or custom machining.
Q: What is the standard plating thickness for the brass body?
A: The standard electroplated nickel coating is maintained at a minimum of 3 μm, providing robust oxidation resistance and salt-spray protection.
Q: Are these glands suitable for outdoor and high-vibration applications?
A: Yes. The robust brass structure combined with the internal multi-slot clamping claw provides excellent mechanical resistance against continuous vibration and outdoor weathering.
Q: What is the typical Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for standard vs. custom items?
A: Standard catalog items feature flexible MOQ terms designed for distributor stocking. Custom machined threads or laser branding depend on the specific technical configuration.
Q: What are the standard lead times for bulk procurement?
A: Standard inventory items ship within 7 to 15 working days. Custom OEM production runs typically require 20 to 30 days depending on manufacturing schedules.
