Why Choose the ABB ZB40 Nipple Flange Gland Plate?
The ABB ZB40 is a nipple flange gland plate designed for cable entry into compatible ABB distribution and meter cabinets. It provides a coordinated cable-entry interface for enclosure flange openings, helping installers route multiple incoming or outgoing cables neatly into the cabinet.
Manufactured from plastic, the ZB40 has a straight design with pre-stamped cable-entry positions. Its cable-entry arrangement accommodates 1 × 12–47 mm, 1 × 12–29 mm, 3 × 8–15 mm and 20 × 7–13 mm cable diameters, allowing several different cable sizes to be handled using one gland-plate accessory.
The ZB40 is used with compatible ABB cabinet systems including A/B wall-mounted cabinets and U/UL flush-mounted distribution cabinets. Its pre-stamped design simplifies preparation of the required entry points while retaining unused positions until they are needed.

Flexible Multi-Cable Entry for ABB Distribution Cabinets
A dedicated cable-entry flange provides a controlled transition between external cabling and the protected interior of an electrical cabinet. Pre-stamped entry positions allow installers to open only the positions required for the application, helping maintain an organised cable arrangement while simplifying installation work.
The ABB ZB40 combines several cable diameter ranges within one compact gland plate. With dedicated positions for larger cables and up to 20 smaller cable entries, it provides a flexible solution for cabinet installations where multiple power, control or auxiliary cables need to enter through a common flange opening.
Typical Applications
- ABB A/B wall-mounted distribution cabinets.
- ABB U/UL distribution cabinets.
- Low-voltage cabinet cable entry.
- Incoming and outgoing cable routing.
- Meter and sub-distribution installations.
- Commercial and industrial electrical cabinets.
- Professional panel and switchboard building.
