Guidance Chart for Cable Gland selections.
This chart/data is for guidance purposes only, actual dimensions of the cables and glands should always be considered before making a final selection due to the manufacturing tolerances permitted in BS6121: Part 1: 1989.
The material options are also for guidance only under normal conditions. Subject to there being no adverse environmental conditions, the table can be used to determine the Cable Gland (or Adaptor/Reducer) material recommended.
