Cable Gland
The Importance of Cable Outer Sheath Tolerances in Gland Selection
Cable outer sheath tolerances — manufacturing variations of ±0.1mm to ±0.5mm depending on cable type — directly determine whether a cable gland achieves its rated IP sealing performance. This guide explains how to measure actual cable diameters, account for thermal expansion effects, and apply the correct safety margins when selecting cable glands to eliminate sealing failures and protect safety certifications.
