Why Choose the ABB ZB39 Nipple Flange Gland Plate?
The ABB ZB39 is a nipple flange gland plate designed for cable entry into compatible ABB U-series meter cabinets. It provides a practical interface at the cabinet flange opening, allowing incoming or outgoing cables to be routed into the enclosure while maintaining an organised installation.
Manufactured from plastic, the ZB39 measures 210 mm wide × 100 mm high × 20 mm deep. The straight gland-plate design incorporates pre-stamped cable-entry positions, enabling suitable openings to be prepared according to the cable sizes required by the installation.
ABB specifies the ZB39 for U meter cabinets, where nipple flanges are used at the cabinet flange openings. The cable-entry arrangement supports cable diameters of 2 × 16–30 mm, 4 × 8–16 mm and 8 × 8–14 mm, providing multiple entry sizes within one coordinated accessory.

Practical Cable Entry for ABB Meter Cabinets
A correctly selected gland plate provides a structured transition between external cabling and the protected interior of an electrical cabinet. Pre-stamped cable-entry positions allow installers to prepare only the openings required for the application, supporting a neat and controlled cable-routing arrangement.
The ABB ZB39 is specifically intended for flange openings in ABB U meter cabinets. Its combination of different cable-entry diameters enables several cable sizes to be accommodated within the same 210 mm-wide accessory, making it a practical component for professional meter-cabinet installation and cable management.
Typical Applications
- ABB U-series meter cabinets.
- Low-voltage meter cabinet cable entry.
- Incoming and outgoing cable routing.
- Electrical distribution cabinet installations.
- Residential and commercial metering systems.
- Sub-distribution cabinet assemblies.
- Professional electrical panel and cabinet building.
