Armored cables and cable glands: an effective and safe system for your project
Armored cables are ordinary cables with a protective layer between the jackets. They can withstand higher stress and are buried directly underground. Its specific characteristics make the armored cables and cable glands must be selected according to specific needs.
Given this, metal cable glands must be selected for armored cables, which allows for compression sealing that provides safety and efficiency in projects.
The armored cables and cable glands create an effective system using specific cable glands that are generally dedicated for connections with armored cables, exterior and interior connections, connections with direct termination, Zone 1 and Zone 2 connections (in hazardous areas), as well as for connections that support a high load of weight and especially high voltage.
Armored cables and cable glands, what you should know
The armored cables and cable glands They have specific characteristics for their correct operation. Its design is robust, which helps secure cables to your element.
In addition, another important feature is that they prevent external elements such as liquids and dust from entering the interior of the element. Added to this is that they function as a ground connection, unlike a simple rubber gasket, with a stuffing box an efficient compression sealing system is established.
On the other hand, depending on the models chosen, an IP-66/67/68 watertight seal can be created and the availability of connection to different cables (SWA, STA).
The advantages of armored cables and cable glands is that they present an excellent quality-price ratio in the project, in addition to being anti-pull and anti-vibration elements.
With the armored cables and cable glands Quick and easy assembly can be achieved, while complying with RoHS regulations. In addition, you can count on a wide temperature range for work.
