Globally Approved, Explosive Atmosphere Cable Gland
• Fully sequential, three step installation procedure
• Reduces installation times, cost & risk
• Direct & remote installation
• Unique compensating displacement seal system (CDS)
– Metal-to-metal installation every time regardless of cable diameter
• Designed to prevent Coldflow, see CMP Technical Document TS002 (available upon request)
• Integral protected deluge seal
• Controlled outer ‘load retention’ seal
• Unique OSTG prevents overtightening
• -60°C to +130°C
• Globally marked, IECEx, ATEX, UL & cCSAus
• EMC tested
† Grooved Cone (X) is predominantly used for Wire Braid (e.g. GSWB, TCWB), Steel Tape Armour (STA, DSTA) and Aluminium Strip Armour (ASA) but is also suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) and Pliable Wire Armour (PWA) if the range is outside that of the Stepped Cone (W).
Note: Grooved Cone (X) dimensions shown in the Cable Gland Selection Table below are for a double wire strand of braid armour cables. Tapes can also be doubled over. For cables that have only a single layer of armour such as SWA the clamping range should be used as shown in the table below.
Stepped (W) Cone is suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), or Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) cables.

Why choose CMP Products?
Quality Assurance & Reliability CMP Products has an international reputation for quality and reliability and is highly regarded as the leading specialist in the design and manufacture of cable glands and accessories for industrial and explosive atmospheres. This position as market leader is maintained by listening to our customers and understanding their needs, to ensure that our solutions are practical to install and fully compliant with the latest industry standards and specifications.
Read moreCMP Ingress Protection Testing
Some CMP cable gland types have been tested to IP66, whilst other types have been tested to IP66, IP67 & IP68, to an equivalent depth of up to 60 metres for a duration of two weeks. For manufacturers to claim an IP68 protection level it is important that they include both the depth of water and time duration of the test conducted; otherwise the rating would be incomplete and meaningless.
Read moreMaterial Selection & Preservation for Longevity of Service
The selection of material by a customer often comes down to either carefully developed client specifications; cost / value options; or a combination of both. There will be numerous applications where the material selection is a lot more critical than it is in others.
