Shrouds

CMP manufactures a range of push on shrouds which are used to minimise the risk of dirt or foreign substances gathering on the Cable Gland body, and/or point of cable to cable gland interface. Standard shrouds are produced in Black PVC and PCP. CMP SOLO LSF (Blue/Grey) Halogen Free shrouds are available from stock.

It should be noted that although the addition of a shroud may aid the process of keeping the surface of the cable gland free from the build up of dust or dirt, this does not necessarily improve the Ingress Protection rating of the installed cable gland. Generally cable glands are tested for ingress protection without a shroud being present. In certain conditions the addition of a shroud or other form of external covering may retain unwanted moisture creating a greater threat of penetration than that which it is intended to prevent. In such cases a CMP Deluge Proof cable gland is recommended which negates the need for the use of a shroud and protects the critical migration paths into the interior of the cable gland.

Colour Coded Shrouds

CMP Solo LSF OH Shrouds are manufactured in grey. PVC Shrouds are manufactured as standard in black - alternative colours including Red, Blue and White to suit a wide variety of customer requirements and other colours are available on request.

The following table details the standard shroud references divided into 6 distinct groups. The table below details the specific CMP cable gland types associated with each of these groups.

It should be noted that some of the cable gland types shown in the table above may have been withdrawn but are included for historical reference purposes as these may still be circulating through the supply chain.
