Why Choose the ABB 851046 IP54 PG16 Grey Cable Gland?
The ABB 851046 (4TBO851046C0100) is a grey PG16 cable gland with an IP54 protection designation, supplied as part of the ABB APO Enclosures product group. Designed for electrical enclosure cable entry applications, this accessory provides a practical means of routing a cable through a suitable enclosure opening while supporting cable entry protection in correctly assembled installations.
Cable glands are important components in electrical installations where cables must pass through an enclosure wall without leaving an unprotected opening. The ABB 851046 PG16 cable gland is intended for compatible cable entry arrangements and carries an IP54 designation, indicating protection against harmful dust ingress and splashing water when the specified protection conditions are met. Its grey colour makes it suitable for use alongside compatible electrical enclosure components where a neutral accessory appearance is preferred.
Identified by ABB product reference 851046 and genuine ABB order code 4TBO851046C0100, this cable gland is relevant to electrical distribution, industrial control and general enclosure wiring applications. The PG16 designation identifies the gland's nominal thread system and must be matched to the appropriate enclosure entry and installation accessories.

IP54 Cable Entry Protection for Electrical Enclosure Installations
A properly selected cable gland is essential where an electrical cable enters an enclosure. An unsuitable entry arrangement can compromise the enclosure's protection against environmental exposure and create difficulties with cable routing or maintenance. The ABB 851046 IP54 PG16 cable gland provides a dedicated cable entry solution for installations requiring a PG16 gland with an IP54 protection designation. Its suitability depends on the cable dimensions, entry opening and installation conditions.
An IP54 designation indicates protection against dust ingress sufficient to prevent harmful deposits and against water splashing from any direction under the applicable test conditions. It does not mean that the gland is dust-tight, waterproof under immersion or suitable for high-pressure water jets. The completed installation's ingress protection also depends on the enclosure, cable fit, sealing arrangement and correct assembly. The ABB 851046 should therefore be selected with reference to the relevant manufacturer's technical information, particularly where cable diameter range, sealing components or mechanical cable retention requirements are critical.
Typical Applications
- PG16 cable entry arrangements in compatible electrical enclosures.
