Overview

The HIBMX2CWCL is an ATEX cable gland kit manufactured by nVent Hoffman, designed for hazardous area applications. It features a Polyamide 6 construction with an M20x1.5 thread size and a thread length of 0.39 inches. The component operates within a temperature rating range of -40 to 70 degrees Celsius. This kit provides strain relief, sealing, and secure entry for cables into enclosures or electrical equipment in hazardous locations.

Feature Summary

• Provides strain relief and sealing for cables in hazardous areas
• Ensures secure entry of cables into enclosures or electrical equipment
• Constructed from Polyamide 6 material

Applications

• Hazardous area cable entry systems
• Enclosure sealing for electrical equipment
• ATEX compliant installations requiring strain relief

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ATEX certification requirements against your installation zone classification before procurement. Confirm that the M20x1.5 thread specification matches the existing enclosure knockouts. Ensure the Polyamide 6 material compatibility aligns with the environmental conditions and cable jacket types used in the target application to maintain seal integrity.

Selection Notes

Select this model when ATEX compliance is mandatory for the installation environment. The M20x1.5 thread size dictates the compatible cable diameter range; verify cable outer diameter falls within the gland's clamping specifications. Consider the -40 to 70 degrees Celsius operating range to ensure performance under expected ambient temperatures. Polyamide 6 offers chemical resistance suitable for many industrial settings.
