Do brass cable glands support armoured and unarmoured cables?
BRASS CABLE GLANDS are made to accommodate both types of cables, the armoured and the unarmoured ones, thus being a solution quite flexible for various electrical installations. Such an attribute comes from the fact that different gland types are regardless of their varying cable constructions and application requirements single types of glands.

There are several kinds of brass cable glands for armoured cables like BW, CW, and E1W which are mainly used. These glands are able to reliably hold the cable's armor thereby offering a lot of strength and guaranteeing good grounding connection at the same time. If the installation is outdoors or in a humid area, then double compression or CW-type BRASS CABLE GLANDS will be preferred as they not only seal off the outer sheath well, but also give the cable excellent protection against moisture and dust while being sure of a strong hold.

For the unarmoured cables, A1 and A2 type brass cable glands are the most popular ones. The main function of the A1 and A2 type cables is to contact the cables and at the same time to prevent insulation damage. A2 glands particularly suit outdoor installations as they give more protection from the environment than A1 glands.

The combination of brass's strength, resistance to corrosion, and precise machining makes these glands to be of high reliability even for the two types of cables. PIONEER POWER INTERNATIONAL is one of the manufacturers that provides a wide range of BRASS CABLE GLANDS meeting the international standards and thus guaranteeing safe, long-lasting, and efficient cable termination for armoured and unarmoured cable applications over industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects.
