cable lugs

 Use of cable lugs allows in easy installation, repair and maintenance of electrical devices or cables. Most common use of lugs includes connecting one cable with another cable or connection more than two cables. It is also used in connecting fuse sockets, load switches and electrical appliances, other than for connecting cables and power lines. To connect high voltage passing cables or electrical connections a special type of compression lug is used. As lugs are used for connecting electrical devices and cables, most of such connectors are available in rubber or plastic insulated sheets. This ensures safe handling. 

 A cable gland is the ‘mechanical cable entry device’ attached to the end of electrical cables and secures them to any piece of equipment. They are also commonly known as cable connectors, cable fittings, cord grips, or cable strain reliefs.
