Here is some basic information about Cable Glands / Hazardous Area Cable Glands  

A cable gland (in the U.S. more often known as a cable connector or fitting) is a device designed to attach and secure the end of a cable to the equipment. A cable gland provides strain-relief and connects by a means suitable for the type and description of cable for which it is designed including provision for making electrical connection to the armor or braid and lead or aluminum sheath of the cable if any. Cable glands may also be used for sealing cables passing through bulkheads or gland plates.

Cable glands are mechanical cable entry devices and can be constructed from metallic or non-metallic materials. They are used throughout a number of industries in conjunction with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems.

Cable glands may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data, and telecommunications cables. They are used as a sealing and termination device to ensure that the characteristics of the enclosure in which the cable enters can be maintained adequately.

These are the main materials from which cable glands are made:

• Plastic
• Brass 
• 1. Brass Indoor Type Gland
  2. Brass Outdoor Type Gland
  3. Brass Straitening Unarmored Cable Gland
  4. Brass Weather Proof Gland
• Aluminum
• Stainless steel
• PG Threaded Gland
• Industrial Type Gland

For routing pre-terminated cables (cables with connectors) there can be used split cable glands. These cable glands consist of three parts (two gland halves and a split sealing grommet) which are screwed with a hexagonal locknut (like normal cable glands). Thus, pre-assembled cables can be routed without removing the plugs.

Alternatively, there can be used split cable entry systems (normally consisting of a hard frame and several sealing grommets) to route a large number of pre-terminated cables through one wall cut-out.

There are at least 2 types of thread standard 1) PG standard 2) Metric standard ( millimeter )
