What does IP68 mean for a cable gland?

IP68 under IEC 60529 means the gland is dust-tight (6) and protected against continuous immersion in water (8) under conditions agreed between manufacturer and user. The rating is only valid when the cable outer diameter sits inside the gland's stated clamping range and the cap nut is tightened to the recommended torque.

Should I choose a metal or nylon cable gland?

Nylon PA66 glands are lightweight, corrosion-free and cost-effective for control cabinets, lighting and general outdoor equipment. Nickel-plated brass or stainless steel glands are preferred where you need mechanical strength, EMC shielding, higher vibration resistance, fire performance or exposure to oils, salt spray and UV.

Which thread standards do HOONSUN cable glands support?

HOONSUN supplies cable glands in Metric (M), PG, NPT and G (BSPP) threads. Thread length can be specified to match enclosure wall thickness, and custom thread forms are available for OEM projects.

Can HOONSUN produce custom or OEM cable glands?

Yes. As an in-house manufacturer since 2006, HOONSUN customizes thread type, thread length, seal material, clamping range, plating, colour and private-label packaging for OEM and distributor programs.

What certifications do HOONSUN cable glands carry?

Standard HOONSUN cable gland ranges are produced to CE and UL requirements with IP68 sealing performance. Test reports and certificate copies are supplied with the product catalog or on request for each specific part number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What does the double-locking structure mean, and why is it important?

The double-locking structure refers to a combination of thread and ferrule locking (or dual-thread design) that provides two independent points of fixation. This prevents the connector from loosening under sustained vibration or mechanical pulling forces, significantly improving reliability in dynamic environments.

Q What does IP68 rating mean for these cable glands?

IP68 is the highest standard for ingress protection, indicating the product is completely dustproof and can withstand continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter depth. This makes it suitable for outdoor, wet, and oil-exposed industrial environments without risk of internal component damage.

Q Are these cable glands suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The metal housing offers strong corrosion and impact resistance, and the IP68-rated seal ensures full protection against dust, water, and oil — making these cable glands ideal for outdoor installations and heavy-duty industrial applications.

Q What cable sizes are compatible with these glands?

These cable glands are compatible with multiple cable specifications. The compact and adaptable design allows use with a range of cable diameters. Please refer to the product specification sheet or contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific cable size.

Q Do I need special tools to install these cable glands?

No specialized tools are required. These cable glands are designed for manual installation or use with standard basic tools, making them easy to deploy in the field, reducing installation time, and improving overall operational efficiency.

Q In which industries are these cable glands commonly used?

These cable glands are widely used across manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and heavy industry sectors. They are particularly well-suited for high-vibration machinery, outdoor electrical installations, and any wiring systems where dust, water, or oil resistance is critical.
