Degson M25x1.5 Stainless Steel Cable Gland IP68 SS316 for 10.5-17 mm Cables

The Degson M25x1.5 stainless steel cable gland is a robust solution designed for securing and protecting electrical cables in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured from high-grade SS316 stainless steel, this component offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. It provides a reliable IP68-rated seal, ensuring that electrical connections remain protected against dust and water ingress, making it an ideal choice for critical infrastructure and harsh operating conditions.

Advantages

This cable gland stands out due to its superior material composition, utilizing SS316 stainless steel which is highly resistant to chemicals and environmental degradation. The precision-engineered design ensures a secure grip on cables, providing effective strain relief that prevents accidental disconnection or damage to internal wiring. Its IP68 rating guarantees long-term performance in submerged or dusty conditions, while the UL and CSA certifications confirm that the product meets rigorous international safety and quality standards for electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Industrial automation and control panels
• Marine and offshore electrical installations
• Chemical processing plants
• Outdoor electrical enclosures requiring high ingress protection
• Food and beverage manufacturing equipment

When it may not be suitable

This cable gland is specifically designed for cables with a diameter between 10.5 and 17 mm. It may not be suitable for thinner or thicker cables, as the seal will not provide the necessary protection. Additionally, it is intended for use with standard metric M25x1.5 threaded entries and cannot be used with different thread types or sizes without appropriate adapters.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M25x1.5
• Material: SS316 Stainless Steel
• Ingress protection: IP68
• Cable diameter range: 10.5 mm to 17 mm
• Certifications: UL, CSA

How to use

To install the cable gland, first ensure that the mounting hole is properly threaded to M25x1.5 specifications. Insert the gland body through the enclosure wall and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Pass the cable through the gland and tighten the dome nut until the internal seal compresses evenly around the cable jacket. This action creates the required watertight seal and provides the necessary strain relief for the cable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your cable to ensure it falls within the 10.5–17 mm range.
• Check that your enclosure has a compatible M25x1.5 threaded entry.
• Confirm the environmental requirements of your installation to ensure SS316 stainless steel is appropriate for the specific chemical exposure.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure that the cable is inserted straight and that the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to create a uniform seal without over-torquing the components.
