Which cord grip is recommended for the Q cable entering a junction box?

Explanation:
Selecting a cord grip is about matching the cable’s jacket type and its size to the gland so the entry into the box is sealed and protected from movement. The Q cable uses an outdoor-rated jacket called UF (underground feeder). A UF-specific gland is designed to clamp around that jacket, create a tight seal against moisture, and provide proper strain relief as the cable enters the junction box. Using glands designed for other jacket types would likely not fit or seal correctly, which could allow water ingress or allow the cable to move and stress the connections.
