A CENTURY OF PRECISION CABLE GLAND EXPERTISE
ABB's SIB industrial cable glands have been engineered and produced in Boulay-Moselle, France since 1922. Drawing on over 100 years of manufacturing expertise in brass turning and plastic injection moulding, SIB has built a reputation for precision, reliability and consistency in cable entry sealing. Today, ABB offers the full SIB portfolio to support engineers and installers working across demanding industrial, maritime and hazardous area environments.
ENGINEERED FOR EVERY CABLE ENTRY CHALLENGE
ABB offers SIB cable glands across three core material groups — plastic, brass and stainless steel — with standard, EMC and ATEX explosive atmosphere configurations to match the demands of each application. Lamella technology provides 360-degree compression for optimal cable clamping and sealing, while thread options including metric, NPT and JIS support a broad range of panel and enclosure connection standards. Whether the need is general industrial use, electromagnetic compatibility or certified hazardous area protection, ABB's SIB range offers a targeted solution.
GLOBAL CERTIFICATIONS FOR DEMANDING INSTALLATIONS
SIB cable glands carry a comprehensive set of international certifications and approvals, enabling specification confidence in highly regulated environments. From DNV GL Maritime for offshore and vessel applications to ATEX and IECEx for explosive atmosphere zones, SIB products meet the standards that engineers and specifiers rely on. CE, UL, VDE, INMETRO, UKCA, RoHS and REACH approvals further broaden the range of qualifying applications and regions.
