Generic Cable Considerations
Unarmoured Cables When cable glands are designed to suit a range of different cable types they will often provide basic sealing and mechanical retention through the use of a sealing ring on the cable outer sheath, for example, in the case of an unarmoured or screened cable. Cable gland solutions for unarmoured cable would need to cater for a reasonable acceptance range so that the most popular cables fit comfortably within the minimum to maximum range.
Read moreNon-Standard Armour Wire Sizing
Due to the global nature of cable manufacturing, and variations from one supply country to another CMP also provides alternative cable glands to suit cable armour wires which are outside of the standard range. This predominantly affects Single Wire Armour (SWA) cables and the data provided below is geared towards that type of cable. Most variations in braid thickness can be accommodated with standard product.
Read moreExplosion Protected Equipment
For equipment which is intended to be used in explosive atmospheres, a number of standard methods of protection against ignition have been established. These have been adopted into construction standards and codes, which allow manufacturers to make equipment of a uniform type and have this equipment tested and certified for compliance with the relevant standards.
