Designed to meet European ATEX directives for protecting employees, the public and the environment from accidents due to explosions, they are applicable in oil and gas processing and marine environments. In addition to global certification for use in explosive environments, the cable glands are suited for low-smoke, halogen-free and flame-retardant applications, and can operate in temperatures up to 194 ºF (90 ºC). Oil and gas processing and marine environments often require armored cable for wire protection with a degree of flexibility.
