Amphenol Industrial has introduced a line of cable-management solutions, including cord grips and cable glands, that offer options to ensure secure cable connections to electrical equipment.
The line, which ranges from industrial cord grips and cable glands to ATEX and IECEx explosion-proof cable glands, are ideal for a variety of applications that require exceptionally sturdy cable connections as found in the electrical, automotive, industrial and railway industries.
A variety of sealing and cable-retention options available for both the cord grips and cable glands provide moisture-proof strain relief at the entry of a cord, cable or other flexible conduit into electrical equipment.
This watertight construction makes the cord grips and cable glands suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, including shipyards, process control, production machinery, trucking, radio and radar.
Amphenol's industrial cord grips are made from diecast aluminum and the cable glands are available in machined aluminum or molded plastic, with colour options.
Strain-relief options include compression nuts, mechanical clamp nuts or basket-weave cable grips.
The cord grip bodies come in a straight version as well as in 45deg and 90deg elbows to allow for custom cable routing.
A single- or multiple-hole sealing grommet option is offered as well to allow for additional customization.
Conduit hub sizes range from 1/4in through 3-3/8in and the components accept cables ranging from 1/8in through 2-7/8in.
Both products are suitable for use in hazardous locations as per the NEC and are CSA certified.
The new ATEX and IECEx explosion-proof cable glands from Amphenol provide grounding, bonding, insulation and strain relief or a combination of these functions.
Combining an operating temperature range of -40F to more than 180F (-40C to 82C) with their explosion-proof feature, the cable glands are ideal for harsher environments such as oil and gas exploration, production platforms, chemical and paint manufacturing plants, as well as machinery and heavy equipment.
The explosion-proof cable glands are CSA approved, NEMA rated and SIRA/ATEX-approved for use in Zone 1 and 2 rated applications.
The cable glands, available in brass or stainless steel, can accept any type of cable, including armor-braided cable, and feature IP68-rated product options.
Amphenol's line of RoHS-compliant cable-management solutions is supported by a complete line of accessories consisting of locknuts, washers and earth tags.
Male and female threads, as well as both metric and NPT threads are available for most styles increasing the line's flexibility.
