MAXIblock & MAXIbrass rANGES

Cembre have expanded the new range of MAXIblock & MAXIbrass cable glands, which are becoming more flexible and practical for equipment and electrical panel applications.

MAXIblock Cable Gland MAXIbrass Cable Gland
  • Cembre MAXIblock 1940.M Metric Thread 1.5 Pitch
  • Cembre MAXIbrass 2940.M Metric Thread 1.5 Pitch

This new range of MAXIblock and MAXIbrass cable glands manufactured by Cembre allow the passage of cables with a larger diameter, saving space and time on installations by becoming increasingly flexible and practical compared to the standard range of cable glands which makes it possible to install large diameter cables.

The 1940.M and 2940.M series are characterised by the extended cable entry compared to the standard range, a longer thread makes installation on thick plates easier.

Extended Cable Entry | EV CHarging Points

The installation of cables with larger diameters is now possible due to the extended cable entry. An extension on the entry thread makes it possible to install on thicker sheet metal.

The 1940.M and 2940.M series are in fact characterised by an extended clamping range compared to the standard range. In this way, the needs of installers and customers are met by maximising the relationship between the diameter of the cable and the entry hole in the electric panel or equipment.

EV Applications for MAXIblock & MAXIbrass

ev cHARGING POINTS

The new designs of the MAXIblock 1940.M and MAXIbrass 2940.M are ideal for applications such as EV chargers and wind turbines.

With the same thread as the standard range, the 1940.M and 2940.M allow the passage of cables with a larger diameter, saving space and time on installations. Additionally, a longer thread also makes installation on thick plates easier.

  • Ideal for EV chargers and wind turbines
  • Single hole on electrical panel for multiple uses
  • Stop using adaptors
