† Grooved Cone (X) is predominantly used for Wire Braid (e.g. GSWB, TCWB), Steel Tape Armour (STA, DSTA) and Aluminium Strip Armour (ASA) but is also suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) and Pliable Wire Armour (PWA) if the range is outside that of the Stepped Cone (W).
Note: Grooved Cone (X) dimensions shown in the Cable Gland Selection Table below are for a double wire strand of braid armour cables. Tapes can also be doubled over. For cables that have only a single layer of armour such as SWA the clamping range should be used as shown in the table below.
Stepped (W) Cone is suitable for Single Wire Armour (SWA), or Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) cables.

Cable Gland Material Selection
There are numerous different grades of materials used for the production of cable glands by different manufacturers and it is important to identify the precise grades used before proper and effective evaluation can be achieved. Given the range of potential environments, including indoor and outdoor, the compatibility and the selection of material used in the production of cable glands is very important.
Read moreMaterial Selection & Preservation for Longevity of Service
The selection of material by a customer often comes down to either carefully developed client specifications; cost / value options; or a combination of both. There will be numerous applications where the material selection is a lot more critical than it is in others.
Read moreCombating Galvanic Corrosion at CMP
The type and thickness of nickel coatings applied to brass cable glands varies significantly around the world, and many of the solutions adopted are inherently porous, meaning that they are unable to provide complete protection against chemical attack, corrosion, or material break-down. There are typically two types of nickel plating in common use, these being electro nickel plating and electro-less nickel plating.
