Put simply, when a hole is drilled in a box for cable access, the assembler needs a way to protect the interior and integrity of the box while still installing the cabling. The cable gland is that device
Cable Glands come in all sizes to meet customer specific needs
which mounts through the hole with a nut on one end and a lid on the other to perfectly fit the cable and provide that seal. They are quick and easy to install and also can provide strain relief for the cable or tubing that provide either power or other access.
One of the fastest growing parts of Bud’s business is our modification services, which provides a ready-to-use enclosure with mounting holes in as little as 5 days.
