Explosion-proof Cable Gland for Hazardous Area
The Explosion-proof Cable Gland also known as cable connector that facilitate barrier penetration and offer sealing protection and can be utilized with probes, wires, power, and signaling cables.
It is very necessary to know some basic knowledge about Explosion-proof Cable Gland:
Hazardous Area Classification
The Explosion-proof Cable Gland are an essential part of the wide range of electrical explosion protection equipment and prevent the occurrence of sparks or arcs which could lead to an explosion.
Firstly, we need to know three necessary components for an explosion to occur:
1.Flammable Substance– this needs to be present in a relatively high quantity to produce an explosive mixture (e.g. gas, vapours, mists and dusts).
2.Oxygen – oxygen is required in high quantities and in combination with the flammable substance to produce an explosive atmosphere.
3.Ignition Source– a spark or high heat must also be present.
Fundamentally, for an explosion to take place, flammable or explosive gases, vapours, mists or dusts will be present. Then, the level of risk of an explosion is based on the frequency and duration of the occurrence of an explosive atmosphere.
Hazardous areas are classified into zones based on an assessment of the frequency of the occurrence and duration of an explosive gas atmosphere, as follows:
| ATEX Zone | Danger / Protection Level | Ex Safety Category Required | |
| Gas | Dust | ||
| Zone 0 | Zone 20 | Constant danger/Very high. Explosive hazard always present. | Category 1 equipment. |
| Zone 1 | Zone 21 | Potential danger/high. Explosive hazard occasionally present during normal working practices. | Minimum of Category 2 equipment. |
| Zone 2 | Zone 22 | Minor danger/normal. Explosive hazard not likely or only for short periods | Minimum of Category 3 equipment |
As a result, you really have to be conscious of the hazardous area zone classifications when you selecting Explosion-proof Cable Gland, as the “zone” governs the level of protection and precaution required.
Hazardous Area Directives for Explosion-proof Cable Gland
ATEX
When Explosion-proof Cable Gland is intended for use in a hazardous area, the Explosion-proof Cable Gland must be ATEX certified as required by the EU directive 94/9/EC.
The ATEX directive requires the Explosion-proof Cable Gland to be marked with the CE mark, then followed by the serial number of the Notified Body.
The Explosion-proof Cable Gland will also bear the Ex logo and then a series of codes, to define its approval rating:
Within Europe ATEX certification of Explosion-proof Cable Gland for use in potentially hazardous atmospheres is compulsory.

How IP68 Waterproof Cable Connector Work?
Jixiang Connector’s IP68 Waterproof Cable Connector are made of high quality nylon PA66, will not crack or fade in Sunlight, durable for years use. The internal contacts are made of brass and nickel plated.
Moreover, Jixiang Connector offer IP68 Waterproof Cable Connector in mulituple sizes , suitable for two-core to five-core cable with a cable thickness of 3mm till 14mm.
Here’s how they work:
1.Unscrew all prats and insert wires from both side
2.Insert the wire-cored terminal into the hollow tube
Screw Type: Fix the wires insider the poles by screwdriver
Quick Type: Lift the booster and insert the lead connector hole
3.Tighten the nut until the waterproof rubber core tightens the rubber wire
4.Tighten the locking nuts and wiring completed
That’s it! Easy to install.
Wide usage of IP68 Waterproof Cable Connector
IP68 Waterproof Cable Connector are an ideal accessory when you want fast connect the outdoor lighting and external wiring.Suitable for fast connection to the outdoor lighting, underfloor heating, beacon, watering cart, solar photovaltaic, cruise, etc.
Compared to the traditional cable connector, IP68 Waterproof Cable Connector has a good
advantage in the limited space. Welcome to contact us for more details!
Reducer and adaptor are provided a means of connection between equipment and cable glands with dissimilar thread types or thread sizes.
The different between adaptor and reducer is an enlarger are used when the cable gland has a larger connection thread than the thread hole on the device.
Oppositely, a reducer are used when the cable gland has a smaller connection thread than the thread hole on the piece of equipment.
The advantage of using an adaptor or reducer is there no costly and complicated conversions or retrofitting and save you money and work.
Reducer and adaptor are simple, screw-in devices to assist equipment in creating a seal that can resist dripping water or high water pressure, even some high standard adaptor and reducer can also be used to prevent entry of flammable gas into equipment enclosures in hazardous areas.
Jixiang provide high quality reducer and adaptor are made of Nickle plated brass or stainless steel. And circle or hexagon is available for easy installation.
Reducer and adaptor are come complete with a O-ring seal for male threads. The O-ring is located within a recess on the face of the product, helping to protect the O-ring from environmental damage and ensuring it is not displaced during installation.

Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy.
The most common form of solar energy is harnessed by solar panels, or photovoltaic cells.
Solar panels are usually installed on rooftops or outdoors, where the sun is strongest and hottest, to get more solar energy.
Jixiang offers high quality Nylon Cable Glands that reaches IP68 protection level, protect equipment from moisture and rain.
Moreover, the Nylon Cable Glands are sturdy and resistant extreme temperatures, can effectivly connect cables and ensure the long-term reliable operation of solar power generation systems.
Wind power or wind energy is mostly the use of wind turbines to generate electricity.
A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades. It is often work on windy mountaint, plains and seas.
The Nylon Cable Glands from Jixiang, has the characteristics of high reliablity and salt spray corrosion resistance, to reduced the cost of maintenance.
Besides, consider that wind turbines are generally large, Jixiang has large size Nylon Cable Glands can be choose.
Not only Nylon Cable Glands, Jixiang offers metal cable glands that are suitable for outdooruse, such as nickel plated brass and stainless steel cable glands to meet your requirement.
If you have any questions or inquire about cable glands, feel free to contact us.
