Overview

The ABB BCG-M162-L is a non-armoured cable gland designed for secure termination of cables with diameters between 4mm and 8mm. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this gland provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in industrial environments. The M16 thread size ensures compatibility with standard conduit systems and enclosures, while the 12mm thread length delivers reliable grip and strain relief. This gland is ideal for applications requiring IP-rated cable entry protection without the need for armour clamping. Typical uses include control panels, junction boxes, and machinery enclosures where cable integrity and environmental sealing are critical. The nickel plating enhances durability against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, extending service life in harsh conditions. Compliance with industrial standards ensures reliable performance in electrical and automation systems. Order SKU BCG-M162-L for precise cable management and protection.
