Technical Specifications

The CGB195 cable gland features 1/2" NPT threading for standard enclosure compatibility, accommodating cable diameters from 0.500" to 0.625". Constructed from durable steel with NEMA 3R environmental protection rating, this general purpose cable gland measures 1.23" width x 1.23" height x 2.02" depth and weighs 0.2 pounds. The unit is designed specifically for non-armoured and tray cable applications in ordinary/non-hazardous locations, meeting NEC/CEC compliance standards for professional electrical installations.

Installation Process

1. Verify cable diameter falls within 0.500" to 0.625" range for proper fit
2. Thread cable gland into 1/2" NPT tapped hole in enclosure or junction box
3. Insert cable through gland assembly before making electrical connections
4. Position cable at desired entry point and verify adequate strain relief loop
5. Tighten gland components to compress sealing elements around cable
6. Verify environmental seal integrity and cable strain relief function

Applications

Perfect for:

• Industrial Control Panels - Motor control centers, variable frequency drives, and automation equipment
• Commercial Electrical Systems - Office buildings, retail facilities, and institutional installations
• Outdoor Electrical Enclosures - Weather-resistant installations requiring NEMA 3R protection
• Tray Cable Connections - Cable tray to equipment transitions and branch connections
• Junction Box Entries - Secure cable entry points for distribution and branch circuits
• Equipment Connections - Machinery, pumps, and electrical equipment cable management
• Municipal Infrastructure - Traffic control systems, street lighting, and public facility installations
• Agricultural Systems - Barn ventilation, irrigation controls, and farm equipment connections

Cable Gland System Benefits

Cable glands provide superior cable management compared to traditional knockout plugs or simple grommets by offering both mechanical strain relief and environmental sealing in a single component. The threaded design ensures secure attachment to enclosures while the compression sealing system protects against moisture ingress and maintains cable position under mechanical stress, reducing maintenance requirements and extending system reliability.

Why Choose Steel Construction?

Steel cable glands offer exceptional mechanical strength and durability for demanding industrial and commercial applications. The steel construction provides superior resistance to impact, vibration, and mechanical stress while maintaining dimensional stability over extended service life. Combined with Eaton Crouse-Hinds' century of electrical innovation, this cable gland delivers the professional-grade performance electrical contractors trust for critical installations requiring long-term reliability and code compliance.
