Overview

The ABB BCG-M201 Nickel Plated Brass Cable Gland is a non-armoured, metric M20 threaded cable gland designed for secure cable entry and termination in industrial electrical enclosures. Manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, this gland features a nickel-plated brass construction for enhanced corrosion resistance in general industrial applications. The M20x1.5 thread size ensures compatibility with standard junction boxes, control panels, and machinery, while the 8mm thread length provides secure mounting within enclosure apertures. This cable gland accommodates cables with diameters ranging from 5mm to 9mm, offering reliable sealing and strain relief without requiring cable armouring. The nickel plating extends service life in moderately corrosive atmospheres compared to standard brass glands, making it ideal for applications where environmental protection is a priority. The BCG-M201 is part of ABB's BCG series, which includes multiple thread sizes and clamping ranges to match diverse cable requirements. Typical applications include control panels, motor starters, lighting systems, and automation equipment where cable integrity and environmental sealing are critical. The gland's compact design and metric threading simplify installation in both new and retrofit projects, reducing material costs and installation time. Compatible with standard M20x1.5 threaded enclosures, this gland provides a cost-effective solution for cable management in industrial environments.
