[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Function

The main function of waterproof cable gland is to seal the cable.

When the cable leaves the factory, both ends are sealed, but when laying or connecting, its ends must be cut open, which destroys its tightness.

If the end of the cable is not sealed during laying or the quality of the cable head is unqualified, the cable head will leak oil, and finally the insulating oil will dry up, and the insulation performance will be greatly reduced, affecting the safe operation of the cable.

The cable gland is also used to lock and fix the incoming and outgoing lines, which plays the role of waterproof, dustproof and anti vibration.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Application
