In the era of Industry 4.0, the demand for high-integrity electrical pathways has skyrocketed. Metric cable glands serve as the unsung heroes of modern infrastructure, ensuring that power and signal integrity remain uncompromised in the most hostile environments. From the salt-misted decks of offshore wind farms to the high-vibration chassis of electric vehicles, the precision-engineered Metric standard provides the universal language of secure connectivity.
As global supply chains pivot toward more sustainable and resilient configurations, Zhejiang Hongxiang Connector Co., Ltd. leads this transition. By integrating advanced AI-driven manufacturing and adhering to rigorous UL and ATEX standards, we provide a "zero-failure" guarantee that is critical for mission-critical applications.
The global cable gland market is projected to reach $3.2 billion by 2028, with the Metric thread standard dominating 65% of new industrial installations due to its compatibility and superior torque retention.
The shift toward renewable energy (PV and Wind) and the electrification of transport are the primary drivers of the cable management industry. China remains the global hub for manufacturing, providing 70% of the world's high-protection rating glands.
We provide comprehensive localized support, including customized thread types (NPT, PG, G) and specialized material certifications to meet regional electrical codes across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
Our products carry IP68, CE, RoHS, UL, and ATEX certifications, ensuring they meet the strict legal requirements of global infrastructure projects, minimizing liability for contractors and OEMs.
Founded in 2006, Zhejiang Hongxiang Connector Co., Ltd. is rooted in Yueqing, Zhejiang — a national hub for precision electrical manufacturing in China. After nearly two decades of dedicated development, the company has evolved into a large modern industrial connectivity solutions provider integrating R&D and design, large-scale intelligent manufacturing, global sales, and one-stop services.
Boasting a modern intelligent manufacturing industrial park, the company operates a standardized production workshop of over 10,000 square meters, equipped with multiple high-precision automated production lines and CNC machining centers. With a core team of more than 300 professionals, our annual production capacity exceeds 80 million units.
Our international certifications: ISO9001, IATF16949, UL, CE, ATEX.
Critical components for managing and protecting cables in high-voltage systems, battery packs, and motor controllers. Engineered to withstand vibration and chemical exposure.
Adapted to dynamic movements and harsh industrial environments, ensuring IP68 sealing while preventing cable abrasion in industrial cobots and AMRs.
Resistant to salt fog, extreme temperatures (-52℃ to 90℃), and UV exposure. Made of 316L stainless steel for onshore and offshore stability.
Widely used in rolling stock and tunnels. Features IP68 protection, vibration resistance, and flame retardancy to ensure long-term safe operation.
The next generation of Metric cable glands will not just be passive seals; they will be active diagnostic tools. Hongxiang is currently R&D testing EMC-shielded glands that can detect signal interference before it leads to system failure. This "Predictive Maintenance" capability is vital for the upcoming 6G telecommunication networks and deep-sea exploration vessels.
Furthermore, our commitment to Sustainable Industrialization means every Metric gland produced will have a Digital Product Passport (DPP), tracking its material origin and recyclability index, meeting the future EU circular economy mandates.

Our facility features over 200 units of advanced production equipment and is staffed by 120+ skilled operators, ensuring every batch meets the Hongxiang standard of excellence.
Metric (M) threads are the international standard (ISO 68-1). They offer a finer pitch and more surface area for the thread connection, resulting in superior vibration resistance and easier global procurement for international projects.
IP68 indicates "dust-tight" and protection against "prolonged immersion under pressure." For Hongxiang glands, this means a seal that can withstand 5 bars of pressure, making them suitable for submersed applications and high-pressure washdowns.
Choose Nylon for cost-effective, corrosion-free applications in moderate environments. Nickel-plated Brass is ideal for mechanical strength and EMC shielding. Stainless Steel (316L) is mandatory for marine, chemical, and pharmaceutical environments due to its extreme corrosion resistance.
Yes, we manufacture specific Explosion-Proof series (EX) that are ATEX and IECEx certified, designed to prevent sparks and contain internal explosions in hazardous zones like oil refineries and mining sites.
