Overview

The ABB RBCG-M122 nickel-plated brass non-armoured cable gland is a rail-specific solution designed for secure cable entry in rolling stock and infrastructure applications. Engineered for M12x1.5 thread compatibility, this gland accommodates non-armoured cables with outer diameters ranging from 3.0mm to 6.5mm, providing a robust sealing solution for demanding environments. Key specifications include a 12mm thread length (A dimension) and nominal dimensions of 22.0mm (B), 15.5mm (C), and 14.0mm (W1/W2). The gland maintains ingress protection ratings of IP66, IP68 (5 bar for 30 minutes), and IP69, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor rail applications. Typical use cases include cable entry for control panels, junction boxes, and equipment housings in railway signaling, traction power systems, and rolling stock interiors. The gland’s design eliminates the need for additional armour clamping, simplifying installation and reducing component count. With a working temperature range of -40°C to +100°C (normal use) and -40°C to +120°C (short term), the RBCG-M122 is optimized for rail infrastructure projects requiring reliable, long-term performance. The M12 thread size ensures compatibility with standard rail mounting hardware and conduit systems, making it a direct replacement for glands meeting similar specifications.
