Overview

ABB BCG-M253 nickel-plated brass non-armoured cable gland provides secure cable termination for industrial electrical installations. Designed for cables with diameters between 10mm and 14mm, this M25 metric thread gland ensures reliable mechanical retention and strain relief with an 8mm engagement length. The nickel-plated brass construction delivers superior corrosion resistance, chemical durability, and high-vibration tolerance, making it ideal for harsh environments including outdoor and chemically aggressive settings. Its compact design facilitates installation in tight spaces while preserving cable integrity. The gland installs using standard wrenches, eliminating the need for armour clamping and simplifying setup without compromising performance. Primary applications include automation systems, motor control centers, distribution panels, and control panels requiring IP-rated protection for non-armoured cables. With a nominal thread size of M25x1.5 and a clamping range optimized for 10-14mm cables, this gland delivers consistent, long-term performance in demanding electrical installations.
