• Plastic Cable Gland, also known as “Plastic Cable Gland”, is a device used to connect and secure power cables or wires to junction boxes or electrical appliances. It is mainly used in electrical installations to route cables and prevent dust and liquids from getting inside appliances.
• Here is an explanation of the parts of the Plastic Cable Gland:
• Main Body: It is the main part of the device and is installed in the hole through which the cables pass.
• Collar: This is installed around the cable and is used to provide a seal that protects against the ingress of dust and moisture.
• Locking Ring: It is used to lock the chest around the cable so that it is well secured and prevents any leakage.
• Inner Seal: Provides an additional layer of protection for the cable inside the body.
Outer Seal: Used to secure the device in the used location and prevent dust and foreign materials from entering.
Locknut: Used to hold the device securely in place, and helps provide stability and pressure to the seal.
These parts work together to ensure that cables connect securely within the box or electrical device, providing protection against external environmental conditions. Most electrical cables are made of plastic because it resists corrosion, shocks, and withstands different temperatures
