Cable gland BEMKO E08-ZK03-IP68 3-core IP68 hermetic cable connector

Hermetic cable connector BEMKO E08-ZK03-IP68 is a 3-core cable gland designed to provide a waterproof and dustproof seal for three-conductor cables. With an IP68 protection level, this connector is intended for secure cable entry where long-term exposure to water, moisture and dust is expected. It is suitable for installation in electrical enclosures, outdoor lighting fixtures, junction boxes and industrial equipment that require a reliable hermetic seal.

Advantages

This 3-core IP68 cable gland creates a compact and durable seal around cables, preventing ingress of water and particulate matter. Its hermetic design maintains cable integrity and strain relief while minimizing the risk of corrosion and short circuits caused by moisture. The connector supports multiple conductor cables in a single entry point, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional sealing materials.

Suitable for

• Outdoor electrical enclosures and distribution boxes
• Exterior and waterproof lighting fixtures
• Industrial control cabinets and machinery with cable entries
• Underground or submerged applications where IP68 is required

Key specifications

• Number of cores: 3
• Ingress protection: IP68 (suitable for long-term immersion)
• Function: hermetic/watertight cable gland for three-conductor cables
• Application environment: outdoor, wet, dusty and corrosive surroundings
• Mounting type: panel or enclosure entry

How to use

Select an appropriately sized hole in the enclosure, feed the three-conductor cable through the gland and position the sealing elements around each conductor according to the manufacturer's orientation. Tighten the connector until the seal compresses evenly around the cable, ensuring there are no visible gaps. Verify the sealing by checking that the gland grips the outer sheath and provides strain relief. Recheck sealing after any mechanical adjustments or if cables are replaced.

Usage recommendations

Use cable preparation methods recommended for multi-core glands: remove only the minimum outer sheath required, maintain conductor insulation, and avoid nicking or cutting conductors. For permanent outdoor or underwater installations, periodically inspect the gland for mechanical damage and re-tighten if necessary. Ensure compatibility between cable diameter and gland sealing range to maintain IP68 performance.
