The Degson M16x1.5 brass cable gland is a robust industrial component engineered to provide secure cable entry and effective strain relief for various electrical installations. Constructed from high-quality brass, this gland offers superior mechanical strength and durability, ensuring long-term reliability in challenging environments. With its IP68 protection rating, it provides a complete seal against dust and water ingress, making it an essential solution for maintaining the integrity of electrical systems.

Advantages

This cable gland stands out due to its exceptional build quality and adherence to international safety standards. The brass construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical protection, while the precision-engineered sealing mechanism ensures a tight fit around the cable. Its UL certification confirms that the product meets rigorous safety and performance requirements, offering peace of mind for professional installers and engineers working on critical infrastructure projects.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and enclosures
• Outdoor electrical junction boxes
• Machinery and automation equipment
• Renewable energy installations
• Telecommunications infrastructure

This cable gland may not be suitable for applications involving extreme chemical exposure where specialized stainless steel or plastic materials are required. It is also not intended for use with cables outside the specified diameter range of 4 to 8.5 mm, as this would compromise the IP68 sealing effectiveness.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16x1.5
• Cable diameter range: 4 to 8.5 mm
• Material: Brass
• Protection rating: IP68
• Certification: UL

To install the gland, insert the cable through the gland body and tighten the dome nut onto the enclosure wall. Ensure the sealing nut is tightened sufficiently to compress the internal seal around the cable jacket, creating a watertight connection. Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the brass threads during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size of your enclosure entry point matches M16x1.5
• Confirm your cable diameter falls within the 4 to 8.5 mm range
• Ensure the environment is compatible with brass materials
• Check if the IP68 rating meets your specific moisture and dust protection requirements

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the cable is inserted straight and the sealing nut is tightened evenly. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the internal gasket or the cable insulation.
