Ultimate protection: the ShieldGLAND from WISKA
For many years now WISKA’s iconic COMBI Junction Box has been used with BW/CW glands for terminating SWA cables under the British Standard BS 6121.
T
hese glands have a limiting IP rating as standard, require the use of a shroud, and oſt en are used with an earth tag (banjo). The use of the earth tag oſt en results in the integratory of the junction box being damaged to ensure earth continuity.
As a cable gland expert, WISKA have been developing a superior solution for these types of installations. Introducing the ShieldGLAND, an IP68 plastic/brass hybrid cable gland suitable for armoured and SY cables. Available in M20S, M20L, M25 and M32 sizes. Superior protection, easy to use and works seamlessly with our COMBI junction box series.
Why is the ShieldGLAND better? The ShieldGLAND replaces the use of the conventional BW/CW gland for cable termination. Firstly, the ShieldGLAND off ers superior protection, IP68 to be exact which ensures protection against dust, dirt and water. Furthermore, the ShieldGLAND’s plastic outer body eliminates the need for a shroud helping to save time and improve ease of installation. Finally, the fi nished look creates a much cleaner fi nal installation. The ShieldGLAND has also been designed to work with our iconic COMBI junction box series and accessories.
Flexible design to suit your needs? Thanks to its fl exible design the ShieldGLAND can be used with armoured, SY, CY and non- armoured cables.
