Overview

The Mencom MCG-M16-SS is an M16-threaded metal cable gland constructed from durable stainless steel, designed for industrial environments requiring reliable cable strain relief and environmental sealing. This gland provides IP68 protection, effectively preventing dust and water ingress to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes per IEC 60529 standards. It accommodates cable diameters between 3mm and 9mm, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial wiring applications. The stainless steel construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term durability in harsh conditions, including outdoor installations and chemical exposure areas. Compatible with standard M16 thread types, this gland integrates seamlessly with industrial enclosures, control panels, and machinery requiring secure cable entry points. Mencom's MCG series offers consistent performance across metric thread sizes, with additional options available in nickel-plated brass for cost-sensitive applications. The gland's compact design allows for space-efficient installations while maintaining robust protection against mechanical stress and environmental contaminants.
