Eaton CGBS3015K portable cord connector - Explosion-proof
Part Number: CGBS3015K
Quick Summary
The CGBS3015K portable cord connector is a rugged, explosion-proof gland designed for non-armoured cables in hazardous locations. Engineers often wrestle with costly rework and compliance gaps when terminating portable equipment in harsh environments. This solution carries NEC/CEC standards visibility and explicit Class I, Division 1 ratings, with additional Class II and III coverage for broader applicability. The steel housing, 1" NPT thread, and wire-mesh grip provide a durable, vibration-resistant termination that reduces maintenance and rework, while enabling fast field installations. For workflow efficiency, it integrates with standard gland configurations and supports reliable, code-compliant connections in control panels, motors, and portable machinery in hazardous areas.
