D3CDS Ordinary & Hazardous Location Cable Connector
CMP D3CDS Type Cable Connector for use with all types of Marine cables in Ordinary & Hazardous Locations, providing a seal on the cable inner bedding. This product utilizes a unique Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) system.
All CMP Cable Glands are EMC Tested.
The cable connector gland provides mechanical cable retention and electrical continuity via armor termination. A reversible armour cone and AnyWay universal clamping ring arrangement allows the cable to be easily disconnected from the equipment, for maintenance and change out etc. This feature also facilitates remote make off procedures when the termination is to be conducted in confined spaces or in areas of restricted access. Separate tightening actions for the inner Compensating Displacement Seal (CDS) system and the armor termination affords maximum control over the pressure applied to the cable inner bedding.
The D3CDS cable connector is available in NPT (standard) or Metric thread forms and the standard material is Electroless Nickel Plated Brass grade CuZn39Pb3 (CW614N) to EN12168.
