About cable glands
Cable glands are used whenever a cable passes through a watertight bulkhead or into a
cabinet, to seal the opening through which the cable passes and to protect the cable from
abrasion on the edges of the hole.
There are many different types of cable gland on the market. The cable glands are not
supplied with the system.
Note
Even though the cabinets from Kongsberg Maritime may be prepared for specific types of
cable glands, the installation shipyard will be responsible for selecting cable gland types
and installing them.
A cable gland (in the U.S. more often known as a cable connector or fitting) is a device
designed to attach and secure the end of a cable to the equipment. A cable gland
provides strain-relief and connects by a means suitable for the type and description of
cable for which it is designed—including provision for making electrical connection to
the armour or braid and lead or aluminium sheath of the cable, if any. Cable glands
may also be used for sealing cables passing through bulkheads or gland plates.
Cable glands are mechanical cable entry devices and can be constructed from metallic or
non-metallic materials. They are used throughout a number of industries in conjunction
with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems.
Cable glands may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation,
data and telecommunications cables. They are used as a sealing and termination
device to ensure that the characteristics of the enclosure which the cable enters can be
maintained adequately.
