Cable Gland Size Chart: The Key to Safe and Secure Connections

The Problem: Picking the Wrong Cable Gland Size

Do you pick cable glands that don’t fit? This is bad. When glands don’t fit right, water can get in. Dust can get in too. Your wires might break. Your stuff might not work.

Bad fits cause big problems:

  • Fire risk
  • Shock risk
  • Water damage
  • Broken equipment

Many people pick the wrong size. They guess. They don’t use a size chart. They don’t know what to do.

Why This is Bad

When you pick the wrong gland, bad things happen:

Water gets in. It kills your wires. It makes sparks. Your lights go out.

Dust gets in. It makes things hot. It starts fires.

Loose glands let wires move. The wires break. Your machines stop.

The money you saved? Gone! You must fix everything.

Look at this:

ProblemWhat HappensCost
Water gets inShortsrustfire$1,000+
Dust gets inOverheatingfire$2,000+
Loose fitBroken wires, stopped work$5,000+

This is not what you want!

The Solution: CAGLAND’s Perfect Fit Cable Glands

Good news! CAGLAND makes great cable glands. We know how to help you.

We make:

  • Plastic cable glands
  • Metal plastic cable glands
  • Multi-hole cable glands
  • Distribution boxes

And we know how to pick the right size!

How to Use Our Cable Gland Size Chart

Our cable gland size chart is easy. Just follow these steps:

  1. Measure your cable
  2. Look at our chart
  3. Find your size
  4. Pick the right gland

It’s that simple!

g type cable gland size chart

Let me show you how:

Step 1: Measure Your Cable

Get a tape. Wrap it around your cable. Write down the size.

For a 50mm cable, you need a 50mm gland. It’s that easy!

Step 2: Count Your Cores

How many wires are in your cable? Count them.

You might have:

  • 1 core
  • 2 cores
  • 3 cores
  • 4 cores
  • More cores

The number of cores helps pick the right gland.

Step 3: Check Our Chart

Our plastic water proof cable gland chart shows you the right size.

For a 25mm² cable with 4 cores, you need a 32mm gland.

For a 35mm² cable with 2 cores, you need a 25mm or 32mm gland.

Step 4: Pick Your Gland Type

We make many types of glands:

  1. Plastic glands – for dry places
  2. Metal glands – for tough places
  3. Multi-hole glands – for many cables
  4. Special glands – for special jobs

Our metal water proof cable gland keeps water out. It keeps your stuff safe.

The Cable Gland Market is Growing

The cable gland market is big and getting bigger:

  • $2.08 billion in 2025
  • $3.13 billion by 2033
  • 5.04% growth each year

Why? Because good glands are needed:

  • More solar farms need glands

  • More smart grids need glands

And CAGLAND makes the best glands for all these jobs!

North America will spend $1.2 billion on glands by 2031.

They want new materials that:

  • Don’t rust
  • Last a long time
  • Work in all weather

Our glands do all this!

Technical Specifications That Matter

When you pick a cable gland, these things matter:

1. Cable Bundle Diameter

The gland size must match the cable size. A 50mm cable needs a 50mm gland.

2. Core Configurations

The number of wires in your cable matters. We have charts for:

  • 1 core cables
  • 2 core cables
  • 3 core cables
  • 4 core cables
  • And many more!

3. Armor Diameter

For armored cables, the armor size matters too. Our double-compression glands work great with these!

4. Thread Compatibility

We make glands with all thread types:

  • Metric (M20, M32)
  • Imperial (1 1/8″)

They all fit right and work great!

Why Your Business Needs Our Cable Glands

Our glands stop these problems. They save you money. They keep you working.

  • Stand up to sun

Common Questions About Cable Glands

People ask us lots of questions:

Can I reuse a cable gland?

No. The seals get old. They don’t work right after use. Always use a new gland.

What if my cable size isn’t on the chart?

Go up one size. It’s better to be a bit too big than too small. Then test it to make sure it fits right.

Are there universal gland standards?

No. Different places have different rules. But our glands meet all major standards.
