Brass cable glands in combination with suitable sealing inserts offer a wide operating temperature range of up to -60 ° C up to +140 ° C. If armored or shielded cables are used, a metallic cable gland that is suitable for the respective cable type must always be used. Also for flameproof applications, only metal cable glands are usable. In combination with a nickel surface, brass glands also achieve good corrosion resistance. In applications with a long service life, metallic cable glands are characterized by a significantly longer service life compared to plastic. In measuring and control technology, where interference must be minimized, only metal glands offer consistent protection against EMC.
