Overview

The ABB GSC297 is a two-piece outer sleeve connector designed for hexagonal cable ranges, featuring a compact 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) length and a .297 inch (7.54 mm) inner diameter with a .335 inch (8.50 mm) outer diameter. Constructed from soft bronze and tin-plated for corrosion resistance, this green connector provides a reliable mechanical and electrical joint for industrial wiring applications. Its two-piece design simplifies installation by allowing easy insertion of wires before securing with a crimp or compression tool. Ideal for use in control panels, machinery wiring, and junction boxes where space is limited and secure connections are critical. Compatible with standard hexagonal cable glands and connectors, the GSC297 ensures consistent performance in harsh environments where vibration and moisture resistance are required. The tin plating enhances conductivity and prevents oxidation, extending the service life of the connection. This connector meets industrial standards for durability and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where reliable signal or power transmission is essential.
