A mainstream and specialist range of cable gland solutions are now available from Hylec-APL. This range has been made available in response to how cable gland design has become increasingly varied, as manufacturers begin to realise that they need to offer their customers a distinct advantage in order to hold on to their market share.

With this variation it can be hard to find the cable gland, which is why the range from Hylec-APL offers end-users and OEMs the flexibility to choose the perfect solution for their application. With low price, simple installation and IP68 protection, a standard dome top gland may seem like a fairly straight forward product to specify. They can also be high-volume products, meaning that any efficiency improvements during the installation stage can have a knock-on effect on installation costs. A specialist gland that has a feature which reduces installation time, for example, can result in several hours saved over the space of a week and increased profitability.

The cable gland range offered by Hylec-APL offers products for applications requiring a level of specialism that standard products aren't able to deliver. Railway applications, ATEX zones and emergency systems, for example, all require that components meet special regulations. The range of glands is suited to design engineers who don't have the time to develop expert knowledge on every component within their application, instead having to focus on the big picture and rely on their suppliers to recommend suitable products.
