What is a strain relief cord connector?
Strain relief connectors protect your connections from dust, moisture, chemicals and physical forces to ensure a longer wiring life. Strain reliefs reinforce mechanical strength and electrical integrity, especially in highly volatile environments with wide fluctuations in temperature and movement.
What is a CGB connector?
About the CGB Cable Gland Series The CGB Cable Gland is for use with unarmored cable and flexible cords for hazardous and industrial markets. The primary benefit of this cable gland includes the onsite removeable grommet sleeve to accommodate a broad range of non-armored cable sizes.

They can be used in both wet and dry locations since they seal the electrical connection against dirt, dust, oil, moisture or other corrosive materials.
What are cord bushings?
Cord Bushings protect the wire from sharp edges. Strain Reliefs Reduce the Tension on Wire Electrical Connections. Female Threaded Bushings. Male Threaded Bushings.
Is strain relief necessary?
The strain relief, as the name suggests, relieves a cable of stresses and tensions that could break the conductor inside or the connection between the plug or connector and the cable. It is an essential feature for the mechanical and electrical integrity and overall performance of all types of electrical cables.

Are cord grips better?
Cord grips are designed to give your hands more traction – aka better grip – by wicking moisture away. This is achieved by layering strands of actual cotton cord into the rubber layers of the grip. Once the grips are molded, the surface gets lightly sanded to expose the cotton and give your hands that extra traction.
How do you store cords to avoid strain?
