Cord grips, sometimes referred to as cable glands or wire mesh grip, attach to and secure the ends of heavy-duty cables to a device or piece of equipment. They can also seal cables and may pass a cable or cord into an enclosure through a bulkhead or into a control device like a switch. They prevent the cable from twisting or pulling out to ensure a secure connection. Wire mesh grips include wire mesh for added support. They work well in high-traffic areas to protect them from cable pull-out. Areas like warehouses and shipping departments often require wire mesh since these cables may get hit or run over. Additionally, cables that suspend overhead or drop down may also require this added support.
