They are used as a sealing and termination device to ensure that the characteristics of the enclosure which the cable enters can be maintained adequately.

Cable glands are made of various plastics, and steel, brass or aluminum for industrial usage.

Split cable glands can reach an ingress protection of up to IP66/IP68 and NEMA 4X.
