These particular cable glands are rated at IP68, which provide excellent use within indoor or outdoor environments.

There are various types of applications which would benefit from, or require a cable gland. Consistently used by electrical engineers who need to run cables and wires through to an area which will need to be enclosed or sealed. There are white and black versions available for applications that need to keep to a specific design. As an example, some of the uses of cable glands would be:

• Machinery with delicate internals
• Telecommunications
• Flow meters
• Underwater power generators
