Overview

The ABB BCG-M252-L is a non-armoured cable gland designed for secure cable termination in industrial installations. Constructed from nickel-plated brass, this gland provides corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. The M25 thread size accommodates cable diameters between 9mm and 16mm, with a 12mm thread length ensuring reliable mechanical grip and strain relief. This gland is ideal for applications requiring IP-rated protection against dust and moisture ingress, such as control panels, junction boxes, and machinery enclosures. The nickel plating enhances resistance to oxidation and chemical exposure, extending service life in outdoor or chemically aggressive settings. Compatible with standard M25 gland plates and enclosures, the BCG-M252-L simplifies installation with a straightforward two-piece design. ABB’s Installation Products line ensures consistency with industry-standard threading and dimensional tolerances, reducing compatibility issues in multi-vendor systems. For non-armoured cables in industrial, commercial, or utility environments, this gland delivers a cost-effective sealing solution without the need for additional armour clamping.
