Bopla Standard Cable Glands

Standard cable glands are components used in electrical and electronic installations to safely and securely introduce cables into device enclosures. Their primary functions include protecting cables from mechanical damage, such as abrasion, and preventing the ingress of dust, moisture, and other contaminants into the device interior.

The products available in this category include cable glands made of materials such as plastics and metals, offered in various sizes and thread types (metric, Pg). This makes them suitable for use in a wide range of installation standards. These glands provide a high degree of IP protection, making them suitable for use in both industrial conditions and more demanding environments where tightness and resistance to external factors are crucial.

This category includes products designed for various technical applications, from industrial automation to electrical devices, enabling the selection of components tailored to the specific requirements of a project.

Differentiation of standard cable glands

Metal cable glands

Metal glands, made of nickel-plated brass, provide high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. They are ideal for use in harsh industrial environments where durability and reliability are essential.

Plastic cable glands

Plastic glands, made of polyamide, are lightweight, UV-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including installations exposed to moisture and environmental factors.

Metric thread cable glands

Metric thread cable glands (M) comply with the international ISO standard. They feature precise dimensions in millimeters and a triangular thread shape with a 60° angle. Thanks to their versatility, they are widely used in modern industrial and electrical installations worldwide.

Pg thread cable glands

Pg thread cable glands (Panzergewinde) are based on the German DIN 40430 standard. Their threads have a round shape with an 80° angle, and the dimensions are expressed in inches. Commonly used in older installations, they remain popular in retrofits and applications requiring compatibility with traditional standards.
