Snap In Cable Glands

Snap in cable glands, also known as push-fit cable glands or tool-free cable glands, are innovative cable management solutions designed to provide secure strain relief and environmental protection for electrical cables. These nylon cable glands feature a unique snap-in design that eliminates the need for traditional locknuts and installation tools, making them ideal for quick installation in panel-mounted applications. Manufactured from high-grade Nylon 6/6 material, these cable glands are engineered to handle cable diameters ranging from 5.3mm to 39.6mm whilst maintaining UL compliance for professional electrical installations.

In the UK, snap in cable glands are widely used across industrial automation, telecommunications, manufacturing, and electrical enclosure applications where rapid installation and reliable cable protection are essential. Their primary benefit lies in the tool-free installation process, which significantly reduces installation time whilst providing excellent strain relief to prevent cable damage from vibration, tension, and environmental factors. The ratchet design sealing nut ensures vibration resistance, whilst the compact profile minimises panel intrusion - particularly valuable in space-constrained electrical cabinets and control panels.
