Cable identification

Cable identification codes corresponding to the cable number shown in the cable plan
must be attached to each of the external cables.
The identification codes should be positioned on the cable in such a way that they are
readily visible after all panels have been fitted.
In addition, each cable conductor should be marked with the terminal board number or
socket to which it is connected.

About cable glands
Cable glands are used whenever a cable passes through a watertight bulkhead or into
a cabinet, to seal the opening through which the cable passes and to protect the cable
from abrasion on the edges of the hole.
There are many different types of cable gland on the market. The cable glands are not
supplied with the system.
Note
Even though the cabinets from Kongsberg Maritime may be prepared for specific types
of cable glands, the installation shipyard will be responsible for selecting cable gland
types and installing them.
A cable gland (in the U.S. more often known as a cable connector or fitting) is
a device designed to attach and secure the end of a cable to the equipment. A
cable gland provides strain-relief and connects by a means suitable for the type
and description of cable for which it is designed—including provision for making
electrical connection to the armour or braid and lead or aluminium sheath of the
cable, if any. Cable glands may also be used for sealing cables passing through
bulkheads or gland plates.
