A Deep-Dive Into the Negatives of Traditional Cable Glands

Downtime@2xCable glands have been a staple in electrical installations, but they have drawbacks. The primary issue lies in their installation time and requirements. Installing traditional cable glands can be tedious, often taking up precious time that could be allocated elsewhere. This process becomes even more complex when dealing with preassembled cables, as you must disconnect the ends, potentially voiding warranties and adding to workloads. Additionally, traditional methods require a considerable amount of space within electrical cabinets, which isn't always available.
