In industries where safety, sealing, and cable protection are critical, the Single Compression Barrier Cable Gland commonly known as SCUB Cable Gland plays a vital role. Designed by Exgrip, these glands ensure reliable connections in hazardous and non-hazardous environments. Whether used in electrical panels, machinery, or instrumentation systems, Exgrip SCUB Cable Glands deliver robust performance, easy installation, and enhanced protection against dust, moisture, and vibration.
What is a Single Compression Barrier Cable Gland?
A Single Compression Barrier Cable Gland is a mechanical device that secures and seals the end of an electrical cable entering equipment. It provides a single sealing point around the cable’s outer sheath, preventing entry of dust, gas, and moisture. The barrier type further includes a compound sealing chamber, offering superior protection in Exd / flameproof or hazardous zones.
At Exgrip, our SCUB Cable Glands are engineered for precision, durability, and compliance with international safety standards.
