HEX Nickel-Plated Brass Cable Glands – IP68 Metric & PG Thread, Plus PG Unarmoured Glands

HEX nickel-plated brass IP68 cable glands are compact glands for unarmoured PVC, XLPE and other synthetic cables. A "camera-shutter" clamping principle protects the cable, a neoprene seal and O-ring keep the entry fluid-tight to IP68, and a self-extinguishing polyamide insert gives superior strain relief and full insulation. They come in metric (M12–M75) and PG (PG7–PG48) threads. Made by HEX, the brand of Brass Copper & Alloy (I) Ltd., Mumbai — an ISO 9001 company whose products are tested by CPRI (India), UL (USA), KEMA (Netherlands) and SIRIM (Malaysia).

HEX also makes nickel-plated brass PG-thread glands for unarmoured braided cables (HPG series) for indoor and outdoor fittings.
