What Is a Cable Gland?
A
cable gland
is a mechanical device used to anchor and seal the end of a cable entering a housing or equipment. It provides:
Environmental protection (sealing against water, dust, and chemical exposure)
Mechanical anchoring (strain relief)
Electrical grounding or EMC contact, if needed
What Are the Main Cable Gland Types?
Nylon (Plastic) Cable Glands
– Lightweight, cost-effective, IP66/68 rated
Brass Cable Glands
– Rugged, EMI shielding, often used in control systems
Stainless Steel Glands
– High corrosion resistance for food, marine, or chemical industries
Cable glands (also known as cable and gland systems) are essential for sealing, securing, and protecting cables as they pass into electrical enclosures. Choosing the right gland type ensures safety, waterproofing, EMC control, and long service life.
Key Facts Most People Don’t Know:
Material matters – PVC glands (white gland) are lightweight and corrosion‑resistant for indoor use; brass cable glands provide superior strength and grounding for industrial or hazardous areas.
Waterproofing is not just IP rating – True waterproof cable glands depend on correct cable fit, O‑ring quality, and proper tightening torque. Even IP68 cable glands can fail if installed incorrectly.
Thread type differences – M20 cable glands (metric) are not interchangeable with PG glands like PG 13.5; always confirm thread type before installation.
Cold & harsh environments – Use nylon or brass in low‑temperature or outdoor conditions where PVC can become brittle.
Multi‑cable efficiency – Cable gland plates and cable entry panels allow multiple cables to be sealed through one opening, reducing install time.
Bottom line: Whether it’s m20 cable gland, m25 cable gland, or PG gland, correct selection and installation directly affect cable safety, enclosure protection, and long‑term reliability.
Match the
cable outer diameter
to the gland’s clamping range. Also, ensure thread size (e.g.,
M20
,
PG13.5
) fits your enclosure port.
PG threads are an older German standard, while Metric (e.g.,
M20 cable gland
) are more modern and widely used internationally. Both are available from LEIPOLE.
Yes. Select
IP68 rated
glands in either nylon or brass for outdoor use.
Yes. LEIPOLE plastic cable glands are made from halogen-free polyamide (PA66).
Yes. Our
EMC cable gland types
include integrated 360° contact springs for shielding continuity.
IP68 cable glands provide full dust protection and continuous immersion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor and wash-down applications.
EMC cable glands clamp the braid of screened cables to the enclosure, ensuring proper grounding and minimizing electromagnetic interference.
Use armoured cable glands in zones with explosive gases or dust: they maintain mechanical protection and ensure flameproof joint integrity.
Nylon cable glands are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and cost-effective—perfect for general-purpose panels where high chemical resistance isn’t required.
Drill an M20-sized hole, insert the gland, tighten the locknut from inside, and secure the cable—this ensures a reliable seal and strain relief.
Selection & support
Match thread type, cable diameter and material before confirming a cable gland.
Choose the thread that matches the hole or thread in your enclosure. PG and metric threads are not interchangeable, so check the thread diameter AG in the model table. Metal models carry the suffix -M to separate them from the plastic models.
Confirm the modelMatch the cable outer diameter to the cable range in the model table. LEIPOLE cable glands cover cables of 3 to 44 mm. Confirm thread length and overall height against the wall thickness and space available.
Check technical documentsInclude the model and order number, plastic colour (gray or black) or metal type, cable outer diameter, quantity and delivery destination. The Singapore team can then check the shortlist against the current technical document.
Request a quotationNylon (PA66) glands with NBR seals are light and come in gray or black. Nickel-plated brass glands, marked with the suffix -M, are stronger and run from -40 °C to +100 °C, short-term up to +120 °C. Both types come with PG or metric threads.
Check technical documentsYes. They seal cables entering enclosures, junction boxes and machine housings to IP67 with an NBR seal, provided the cable outer diameter is within the gland’s clamping range and the gland is fitted with its locknut.
Confirm the modelFour types: plastic (nylon) glands with PG or metric thread, and nickel-plated brass glands with PG or metric thread. Threads run from PG7 to PG48 and M12 to M64, for cables of 3 to 44 mm.
Check technical documentsIn the LEIPOLE cable gland size chart, an M20 gland clamps cables of 6 to 12 mm outer diameter in nylon and 6 to 10 mm in nickel-plated brass; PG11 takes 5 to 10 mm in nylon and 6 to 10 mm in brass; PG16 takes 10 to 14 mm in nylon and 8 to 12 mm in brass. Measure the cable outer diameter and choose the thread whose range covers it.
Confirm the sizeThe standard LEIPOLE range is nylon (PA66) and nickel-plated brass, both IP67 with NBR seals, in PG7 to PG48 and M12 to M64. Sites that call for 304 or 316 stainless steel, such as food processing, marine or washdown areas, should send the thread, cable outer diameter and environment so the Singapore team can confirm what can be supplied.
