Q1. How does the Cable Gland Work?

Cable Gland Operation

 Figure 2 Cable Gland Operation 

Cable glands are metallic and non-metallic material that gives a secured and lasting connection between the electronic appliance and cable to which it’s connected. The device works by using a constriction “O” shaped ring element to tighten the cable to its end. By this, the model seals off any harmful electricity flame or spark from reaching the connected appliances.

The model comprises multiple weaved pieces that match together. The matched component helps clinch the cord and ensure the gland assembly and cable are fixed to any appliance. The weaved-like part is the passage that enables direct access to the electrical apparatus.

Q2. How do I install a Cable Gland?
