Overview

The ABB BEM-M201 EMC Cable Gland is a nickel-plated brass gland designed for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) applications. This M20-threaded gland accommodates cable diameters from 6mm to 12mm and provides shielding for conductors ranging from 4.5mm to 10mm. The 6mm thread length ensures secure installation in enclosures or panels with standard M20 cutouts. Engineered for use in industrial environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) must be controlled, the BEM-M201 maintains a continuous 360° shielding connection to the cable braid or foil. The nickel-plated brass construction resists corrosion and provides long-term durability in harsh conditions, including exposure to oils, chemicals, and varying temperatures. This gland is part of ABB’s BEM series, a line of EMC-compliant cable glands designed for compliance with IEC 62444 and other international standards. It is ideal for applications in automation, control systems, and power distribution where signal integrity and equipment protection are critical. The gland’s compact design allows for easy installation in tight spaces, while its robust construction ensures reliable performance over extended use. Key applications include industrial machinery, control panels, and renewable energy systems where EMC shielding is required to prevent interference with sensitive electronics. The BEM-M201 is compatible with standard M20 glands and meets UNSPSC code 39121431 for cable gland products.
