CMP Type PX2K Triple Certified Flameproof (Type ‘d’), Increased Safety (Type ‘e’) and Restricted Breathing (Type ‘nR’)
cable gland for use in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 and Zone 22 Hazardous Areas with all types of armoured cable
providing a compound barrier seal around the cable conductors and an environmental seal on the cable outer sheath.
The cable gland provides mechanical cable retention and electrical continuity via armour termination. A combined
detachable armour cone and compound tube, together with AnyWay universal clamping ring arrangement allows the
cable to be easily disconnected from the equipment, for maintenance and change out etc., and re-connected with the
same consummate ease. This feature also facilitates remote make off procedures when the termination is to be
conducted in confined spaces or in areas of restricted access.
