Overview

The ABB Installation Products BCG-M162 is a non-armoured cable gland designed for secure cable termination in industrial and commercial installations. This M16 gland accommodates cable diameters between 4mm and 8mm, providing a tight seal to prevent ingress of dust, moisture, and other contaminants. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, the gland offers corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh environments. The gland features a 7mm thread length, ensuring reliable mechanical anchoring and strain relief for cables under tension. Its compact design makes it suitable for use in control panels, junction boxes, and machinery where space is limited. The nickel plating enhances resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, extending service life in outdoor or chemically aggressive settings. Compatible with standard M16 threaded entries, the BCG-M162 simplifies installation and replacement in existing systems. It meets industrial standards for cable gland performance, including IP66/IP68 ratings when properly installed, making it ideal for applications in manufacturing, automation, and infrastructure projects.
