Prysmian Group's Components business unit, based in Wrexham, is the UK's most experienced manufacturer of BICON Cable Glands. BICON Cable Glands are supplied for use in both industrial and hazardous locations. Through many years of industry experience and working closely with their customers, Prysmian Group is able to offer BICON Cable Glands to terminate all cable types on the market. As the world's number one manufacturer of cables, Prysmian Group's BICON Cable Glands are designed and manufactured utilising all the knowledge of critical requirements to safely terminate cables in all types of installations.

BICON Cable Glands are mechanical cable entry devices that attach and secure the end of a cable to an enclosure or directly into equipment providing for mechanical support, earth continuity and protection against the ingress of dust and moisture. Additionally, hazardous areas they prevent the migration of gases and control and contain any potential explosions.

The ranges of BICON Cable glands have been designed and tested with The Prysmian Group cable products. They are the recommended and preferred method of installation for all Prysmian and Draka Cables.

When installing fire resistant and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH / LSOH) cables it is important that the accessories used meet the same performance requirements as the cable. Thus, the accessory does not impact on the system performance as a whole in the event of a fire. As the world market leader in both of these types of cable it is no surprise that the Prysmian Group is able to offer specific glanding solutions.

BICON LSOH/LSZH Industrial Gland Kits have been granted LUL approvals. BICON Cable Glands are manufactured in either aluminium, brass or nylon as standard. In the event that the installation requires electroless nickel plated brass these can be supplied. BICON Cable Glands have been used on a vast number of major electrical engineering projects including: Terminal 5 Heathrow, oil platforms in the North Sea, and power stations in the UK & Europe.
