Cable Glands

Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Cable Glands

Cable glands join the ends of cables together or to external devices. These fittings protect the connection against wear and allow for a more secure fit than other connectors. Your small business may benefit from the use of cable glands if you regularly sell devices that use mechanical cables. This includes many industrial and construction applications, as well as cable and wiring installers.

Cable glands typically come in one of four different materials. Plastic glands resist corrosion and easily adhere to other plastic surfaces. Brass and aluminum are often chosen to match devices or cables primarily made of those materials. Aluminum may also be used in glands where plastic may fail due to chemical interactions, but a lightweight material is required. Stainless steel glands are a common form of metal connector, highly resistant to corrosion and fairly impressive in appearance. If your business sells other hardware or repair parts, cable glands may offer and additional revenue stream.

Cable glands may also assist a business with meeting safety regulations at the local, state or federal levels. International vendors may wish to check European or Asian standards to ensure their glands will work in other markets. Cable technologies constantly change, and Business.com remains a great source for the latest information on cable glands and other resources for your small business.
