When you're looking for a durable cable gland, try this one from LAPP. The body and cap nut are made of polyamide, which has excellent resistance to wear and chemicals so is suitable for industrial use. As the gland can accommodate a wide range of cable diameters from 4 to 10mm, it's a versatile choice. You'll find units like this one frequently used to protect a cable's entry point into a panel as it provides a high degree of strain relief.

• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +100°C for use in demanding environments
• IP68 (ingress protection) rating means it's dust-tight and able to withstand 30 minutes immersion in 1.5m of water

• Marine machinery
• Automotive manufacture
• Medical and pharmaceutical equipment

As well as it's polyamide housing, the gland has a sealing ring made of CR (chloroprene rubber) and an O-ring made of NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber). Both materials can be relied on in tough environmental conditions as they resist ozone and UV light.

This cable gland has a 24.4mm open diameter and a length range of 30 to 38mm.
