Overview

The ABB BCG-M122-L non-armoured cable gland is a nickel-plated brass gland designed for secure cable termination in industrial installations. With an M12 thread size and 12mm thread length, it accommodates cable diameters ranging from 3mm to 6.5mm, providing a reliable seal against environmental ingress. The nickel plating enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in harsh or humid environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. This gland is ideal for applications requiring IP-rated protection, such as control panels, junction boxes, and machinery enclosures. The compact design ensures easy installation in tight spaces, while the robust brass construction delivers long-term durability under mechanical stress. Unlike armoured cable glands, this unit is optimized for non-armoured cables, reducing weight and simplifying assembly. The BCG-M122-L is part of ABB’s Installation Products line, SKU BCG-M122-L.
