Southwire MCG50A650 Steel Cord Grip 1/2 in Trade Size

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE MCG50A650 is a steel cord grip designed to secure and protect electrical cables at the point where they enter enclosures, panels, or conduit fittings. With a 1/2 inch trade size entry and an accepted cable range of 0.560 to 0.650 inches in diameter, this fitting provides a firm mechanical grip that resists pull-out and helps maintain cable integrity at termination points. Constructed from steel, it delivers the durability required for industrial and commercial electrical installations where robust strain relief is essential.

This cord grip is suited for use in commercial and industrial electrical applications where cables must be anchored securely to junction boxes, enclosures, or control panels. Electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work when code-compliant cable strain relief is required at equipment entry points. It is appropriate for installations governed by NEC requirements for cable protection and mechanical support at terminations.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durable, long-lasting strain relief at cable entry points
• 1/2 inch trade size fits standard knockout openings
• Accepts cable outer diameters from 0.560 to 0.650 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation fitting for 1/2 inch trade size knockouts in electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels requiring steel cord grip strain relief.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician. De-energize all circuits and verify the absence of voltage before opening any enclosure or panel.
