The IP68 PG‑13.5 Metal Flexible Pipe Cable Gland (Model: HX‑NP) is precision‑engineered for robust strain relief and superior protection in demanding environments. Constructed from high-quality nickel-plated brass and PA (for the claw), this cable gland supports PG13.5 metric threads with a cable clamping range of 6–12 mm.

Its dual-seal system (NBR + optional silicone) ensures IP68 waterproofing, shielding against dust and water ingress. Rated for operating temperatures from –40 °C to +100 °C (short-term up to +120 °C), and certified to CE, RoHS, and REACH, it meets stringent global standards. Ideal for industrial panels, junction boxes, and outdoor equipment, it provides dependable cable retention, corrosion resistance, and long service life.

Metal cable glands usually involve electrical performance, mechanical performance, environmental adaptability and other aspects. The specific parameters will vary according to the application scenario (such as power, communication, industrial equipment, etc.) and cable type (such as high voltage, low voltage, coaxial cable, etc.)

1. Electrical performance parameters

Rated voltage: such as 0.6/1kV, 10kV, 35kV, etc., indicating the working voltage that the connector can withstand.

Rated current: determined according to the conductor cross-sectional area and material (such as copper, aluminium), such as 200A, 400A.

Insulation resistance: usually required to be ≥1000MΩ (test voltage 500V DC).

Withstand voltage level: power frequency withstand voltage (such as 3kV/5min) or impulse withstand voltage (such as lightning impulse withstand voltage 95kV).

Contact resistance: ≤1.2 times the conductor resistance (in accordance with IEC 61238 standard).

2. Mechanical performance parameters

Conductor connection method: crimping, bolt connection, welding, etc.

Mechanical strength: tensile strength (such as ≥70% of the cable body strength), torsion resistance.

Protection level: IP68 (long-term immersion of 1 meter underwater), IP66 (strong water spray resistance).

Bending radius: ≥10 times the outer diameter of the cable (to avoid damage due to excessive bending).

Why Choose the Large‑Range Version?

It’s tailored for evolving installations: accommodates thicker or multiple cables, reduces SKU complexity, and simplifies field assembly—all while delivering signature M‑/PG‑thread compatibility and IP68 protection.

Product application: The direct brass cable gland is an accessory that connects the cable to the power supply, and can fix the cable so that it will not escape. Cable gland devices are divided into different categories, depending on whether the gland is used for general industrial work or requires protection against high temperature or explosion hazards.

Product packaging materials: Suitable cable glands can be armoured or unarmoured. Each type of packing requires a different type of stuffing box. The stuffing box itself can be made of metal, such as brass, aluminium, or plastic; each material is useful in different environments. But the sealing sleeve needs a high degree of protection and maintenance to ensure the safety of the wire. Most direct brass cable gland sealing devices are made of brass, which is considered a general-purpose material that is corrosion-resistant and conductive.

The Metal Tubular Cable Gland is a compact, miniature solution within our gland series, designed with a metric thread comparable to other thread types. It offers exceptional strain relief and an IP68 waterproof rating, tested up to 10 bar. Its space-saving design ensures seamless cable installation in tight or confined areas.

Using method: The Metal Tubular Cable Gland waterproof connector is designed to secure cables while providing reliable sealing. One end locks the cable firmly, while the other connects to an equipment box or an electrical device with an internal thread at the inlet or outlet. Thread type selection should match the application requirements.
