Armoured Cable Glands
Armoured cable glands clamp the armour and retain the cable where it enters an enclosure. Choose the clamping arrangement for the armour type, then match the bedding, outer sheath and entry dimensions. Bonding accessories depend on the installation.
- Armour type and diameter
- Bedding and outer-sheath diameters
- Entry, bonding and accessory needs
Cable gland families
Compare cable glands by material, cable construction and duty.

Selection checks
Choose the right size and construction
Measure the cable diameter and identify the enclosure thread. These details determine which gland will fit.
- Armour type and diameterIdentify the armour type and measure its diameter so the clamp fits the cable.
- Bedding and outer-sheath diametersMeasure each cable layer where a seal will sit; the inner and outer seals can have different ranges.
- Entry, bonding and accessory needsMatch the entry thread and armour-bonding arrangement. Include any earth tag, locknut or shroud required by the installation.

Armoured Cable Glands FAQ
Cable gland questions
Find answers about fit, assembly and product differences.
Armoured Cable Glands
01Why are bedding and outer-sheath diameters both needed?
The bedding lies beneath the armour; the outer sheath covers it. Gland components contact different cable layers, so a single overall diameter does not describe every sealing and clamping surface.
02Can one gland fit every type of cable armour?
No. Wire armour, tape armour and braid have different shapes and clamping needs. Match the gland construction to the armour type and its dimensions.
BW Cable Gland for Indoor SWA Cable
BW Cable Gland for Indoor SWA Cable
01How does BW differ from CW?
BW is the indoor, dry-location two-part armour-lock form with an IP30 specification. CW is a single-compression construction with IP66/IP67 specifications. Their sealing arrangements are different.
02Which cable dimensions identify a BW size?
The armour construction and diameter must fit the armour lock. The cable bedding, overall dimensions and enclosure thread identify the rest of the assembly.
CW Single-Compression Cable Gland for SWA
CW Single-Compression Cable Gland for SWA
01Why choose CW instead of BW?
BW is intended for indoor, dry locations with an IP30 specification. CW uses a single-compression construction with IP66/IP67 specifications. Choose the construction that matches the cable sealing and installation conditions.
02Does the CW name establish hazardous-area approval?
No. Hazardous-area use requires a current certificate covering the exact gland, cable construction and installation. A CW designation or an IP rating is not that approval.
Ex-VII Double-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
Ex-VII Double-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
01Which armoured cable types does Ex-VII cover?
The construction is intended for steel-wire, braided and steel-tape armoured cables. Each cable’s dimensions must fit the sealing and armour-clamping ranges of the chosen size.
02How does Ex-VII differ from a single-seal gland?
Ex-VII uses a double-seal construction. It should be selected using the dimensions of both sealing interfaces as well as the armour-clamping arrangement.
03What is needed for hazardous-area use?
The exact Ex-VII configuration needs a current certificate matching the equipment protection concept, cable and installation. The model name does not establish that scope.
04How do I select an Ex-VII size?
Compare the cable range, maximum outlet diameter and entry thread. For example, Ex-VIIM20D has a 9–20 mm cable range and a 16 mm maximum outlet.
Ex-V Single-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
Ex-V Single-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
01How does Ex-V differ from Ex-VII?
Ex-V is the single-seal construction; Ex-VII is a double-seal construction. Their sealing arrangements and dimensional requirements are different.
02Is the Ex-V rating the same for every material option?
A rating cannot be assigned from the model name alone. The body, seal, cable and protection configuration must be identified together before an ingress, temperature or hazardous-area rating is specified.
Ex-VIIG Double-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
Ex-VIIG Double-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
01Why does double sealing need more cable measurements?
Each sealing interface must fit the cable layer it contacts. Armour-clamping dimensions remain a separate part of the size selection.
02Is Ex-VIIG the same as Ex-VIIIG?
No. Ex-VIIG is the double-seal model, while Ex-VIIIG is the single-seal model. Keep the complete model designation with the dimensional and certificate requirements.
03How do I select an Ex-VIIG size?
Compare the cable range, maximum outlet diameter and entry thread. For example, Ex-VIIGM20D has a 9–20 mm cable range and a 16 mm maximum outlet.
Ex-VIIIG Single-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
Ex-VIIIG Single-Seal Armoured Cable Gland
01What is the difference between Ex-VIIIG and Ex-VIIG?
Ex-VIIIG is the single-seal version. Ex-VIIG uses double sealing. The required cable layers and sealing dimensions must be matched to the chosen construction.
02Can it be chosen only from the armour type?
No. Wire, braid or tape armour identifies the construction family, but the armour diameter and cable sealing dimensions identify the size.
03Does the model name establish the permitted zone?
No. Zone and protection requirements must be matched to the current certificate for the exact model and configuration.
04How do I select an Ex-VIIIG size?
Compare the cable range, maximum outlet diameter and entry thread. For example, Ex-VIIIGM20D has a 9–20 mm cable range and a 16 mm maximum outlet.
