Overview

The ABB FSCG-M121 stainless steel cable gland is a non-armoured gland designed for food and beverage applications, ensuring secure cable entry into enclosures with a robust M12 thread. This gland accommodates cable diameters from 3mm to 6.5mm and features a 6mm thread length for reliable engagement. Its one-piece, fully enclosed design provides a smooth, hygienic external casing ideal for splash zones and washdown areas, meeting stringent hygiene standards in food processing, packaging, and pharmaceutical environments. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel with FDA-compliant EPDM seals, the FSCG-M121 resists corrosion and withstands extreme temperatures from -20°C to +100°C for normal use and -40°C to +150°C for short-term exposure. It delivers ingress protection ratings of IP66, IP68 (5 bar for 30 minutes), and IP69 (steam cleaning), making it suitable for high-pressure washdowns and sterilization processes. Applications include food and beverage splash zones, packaging and transfer areas, medical equipment (non-contact), and pharmaceutical processing. It supports non-armoured, portable, and tray cables, providing flexibility for diverse wiring configurations. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and long-term performance in demanding hygienic environments, while its compact design simplifies installation and reduces maintenance costs.
