In electrical and industrial installations, protecting cables from water, dust, and environmental damage is critical. One of the most commonly used solutions is the IP68 nylon cable gland.
This article explains what an IP68 nylon cable gland is, how it works, and why it is widely used in industrial and outdoor applications.
IP68 is an international protection rating defined by EN 60529:
An IP68-rated cable gland ensures that cables remain sealed and protected even in harsh environments.
A nylon cable gland is a cable entry device made from high-quality PA nylon material. It secures cables as they pass through enclosures while providing strain relief and waterproof sealing.
Compared to metal cable glands, nylon cable glands are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and electrically insulating.
