Eaton Crouse-Hinds CGD297 Cable Gland - NEMA 4
Part Number: CGD297
Quick Summary
Cable gland CGD297 provides a robust seal for non-armoured tray cables in industrial control panels. Many installations struggle with moisture, dust, and vibration entering through unused gland entries, leading to corrosion and unplanned downtime. This Eaton Crouse-Hinds design is NEC/CEC compliant and features NEMA 4 protection, a 3/4 in NPT thread, and a 0.750–0.875 in cable range, enabling reliable field assembly. By combining rugged materials with straightforward installation, it helps maintenance teams reduce service interruptions while meeting safety and regulatory requirements in ordinary locations. The gland’s 45° angle also aids cable routing in tight enclosures, improving enclosure fill and thermal performance.

FAQs
CGD297 is designed for non-armoured tray cables with a range of 0.750 to 0.875 inches. This broad range reduces the need for multiple gland sizes, simplifying procurement, stocking, and on-site substitutions while speeding up commissioning in control panels and equipment housings.
The 3/4 in NPT thread provides a reliable, standard connection, while the 45° angle eases cable entry and routing in restricted spaces. This combination minimizes enclosure fill, reduces installation time, and improves cable management in compact electrical cabinets.
CGD297 is rated for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous Locations with NEMA 4 protection, making it suitable for general purpose indoor and some outdoor applications where exposure to dust, moisture, and moderate contaminants is possible, provided enclosure integrity is maintained.
CGD297 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries NEMA 4 protection. This combination supports reliable operation in non-hazardous environments and aligns with common industry regulations for control panels and machinery wiring.
Using CGD297 reduces ingress-related maintenance, extends gland life due to rugged Feraloy iron alloy construction, and lowers total cost of ownership by limiting SKU variety and simplifying field installs, contributing to higher uptime and lower maintenance costs over time.
