Recommended Cable Glands For Use With Ex Connectors
501/421 Cable Gland
The 501/421 cable gland provides a seal on the outer cable sheath and is intended for use on non-armoured elastomer and plastic insulated cables. The Cable Gland is dual certified Exd and Exe and is suitable for installation in Zone 1 (21) and Zone 2 (22) hazardous areas.
501/453/Universal Cable Gland
The 501/453/Universal cable gland provides a flameproof seal on the inner cable sheath and an IP seal on the outer sheath. It utilises reversible armour clamp (RAC) technology and can therefore accommodate all types of armoured or braided cables (W, X and Z). The Cable Gland is particularly suitable for use on ‘soft’ inner cable sheaths that exhibit "Cold Flow" characteristics as the inner diaphragm seal will not damage the cable bedding. The Cable Gland is dual certified Exd and Exe and is suitable for installation in Zone 1 (21) and Zone 2 (22) hazardous areas.
