Overview

The ABB BCG-M404 nickel-plated brass cable gland is a precision-engineered solution for secure, watertight termination of non-armoured cables in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Designed for M40 thread compatibility, this gland accommodates cable diameters from 22mm to 32mm with a 9mm thread length, ensuring a tight, vibration-resistant seal against enclosures. The nickel-plated brass construction delivers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, making it ideal for harsh environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or mechanical stress is a concern. Unlike standard glands, the BCG-M404 is specifically optimized for non-armoured cables, providing strain relief and ingress protection without damaging cable jackets. The gland's metric M40x1.5 thread matches common industrial enclosure standards, facilitating quick installation and compatibility with existing infrastructure. Typical applications include control panels, junction boxes, and machinery enclosures in manufacturing, automation, and building automation systems. With a robust build and precise clamping mechanism, the BCG-M404 reduces downtime by ensuring reliable cable connections in critical systems. Its compact dimensions and high clamping force make it suitable for space-constrained installations while delivering long-term performance. The nickel plating extends service life in corrosive atmospheres, reducing maintenance costs compared to unplated alternatives. For engineers specifying cable management components, the BCG-M404 offers a proven, field-tested solution that balances strength, precision, and compatibility.
