Cable glands for cables with connectors
for safe cable insertion of pre-terminated cables
Cable glands for cables with connectors are used when pre-connected cables are to be inserted into control cabinets without dismantling the connector.
They are adapted for retrofitting and service-friendly installations where traditional cable glands are not possible.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about cable glands with connector
When should you choose cable glands for cables with connectors?
This type of cable gland should be chosen when cables have pre-assembled connectors that cannot or should not be dismantled before installation.
The solution is common in automation cabinets, control systems and in retrofit installations where existing cables need to be inserted without re-routing.
Common situations:
- contacted signal cables
- servo cables and bus cables
- Retrofitting into existing cabinets
- limited space for redrawing
When is this solution not the right choice?
Cable glands for cables with connectors are not always the best solution in installations where the cable can be installed before the connector is installed or where high strain relief is required per cable.
Avoid this solution when:
- maximum mechanical strength required
- standard cable gland is sufficient
Suitable options in these cases:
Does the connector have to be dismantled during assembly?
No. Cable glands for cables with connectors are designed to be mounted around the cable without the need to disassemble the connector.
This makes them particularly suitable for retrofitting or when the connector cannot be removed without affecting the cable.
Can these solutions withstand IP-rated environments?
Yes, many solutions are adapted for IP-rated environments.
The degree of protection achieved depends on the design, sealing and correct assembly in the enclosure. To maintain the degree of protection, all parts must be assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions.
When is a cable entry better than cable gland?
Cable entry is often better when many cables with connectors are to be inserted through the same opening or when flexibility for future changes is a priority.
It is also well suited when space is limited or when the wiring needs to be changed without dismantling existing cables.
