Flat Cable Gland Seals for Ribbon and Flat Cables

When specifying flat Cable Gland Seals for Ribbon and Flat Cables, the best starting point is the job the connection must perform rather than a catalogue reference alone. The particular requirement here is special seal shapes for cables not suited to conventional circular inserts. AP Technology works with UK and international manufacturers, subcontractors and systems integrators on specialist interconnection requirements.

Applications and engineering considerations

Consider flat cable routing and specialised industrial panels: poor matching of the cable, connector and installation arrangement can cause rework even where each individual component is sound. AP Technology supplies Bimed cable gland accessories including locking nuts, seals, adaptors, blind stops and protection tabs. The related Bimed range also includes metallic liquid-tight conduit fittings and fittings for PVC conduit.

Choosing a suitable

Key details to confirm include cable profile, seal dimensions and compatible gland. Designers should also review the operating environment, connection orientation, service life expectations and the complete mating or cable system. Cable-entry accessories may look minor, but correct threads, seals and installation details are essential. Always match the accessory to the gland family, mounting material, cable form and environmental requirement rather than relying on a nominal diameter alone.

For non-standard entries, ask about a suitable special seal, reducer or bespoke gland option. For a new design, share drawings, photographs of the interface and the expected operating conditions.
