ELEKTROPLAST PG-13.5 Cable Gland for 6-12mm Cables IP68 34.13

The ELEKTROPLAST PG-13.5 cable gland is a robust and reliable solution designed for the secure entry of cables into electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. Engineered to accommodate cables with a diameter ranging from 6mm to 12mm, this component ensures a tight, professional seal that protects internal wiring from environmental hazards. With its high-grade construction, it provides essential strain relief, preventing cables from being pulled or damaged at the connection point.

Advantages

This cable gland offers superior protection against external elements, featuring an IP68 ingress protection rating that guarantees complete resistance to dust and protection against prolonged immersion in water. Its durable design ensures long-term performance in demanding industrial environments, maintaining the integrity of electrical connections. The installation process is straightforward, allowing for quick and secure mounting that keeps your wiring systems organized and safe from moisture, dirt, and mechanical stress.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical installations
• Junction boxes and control cabinets
• Outdoor lighting systems
• Automation and control equipment
• Wiring systems requiring strain relief

When it may not be suitable

This product is specifically designed for cables with a diameter between 6mm and 12mm. It will not provide an effective seal for cables that are thinner than 6mm or thicker than 12mm, as the internal gasket will not compress correctly to maintain the IP68 rating.

Key specifications

• Cable diameter range: 6-12mm
• Ingress protection rating: IP68
• Thread type: PG-13.5
• Material: Durable synthetic polymer
• Function: Strain relief and environmental sealing

How to use

To install the cable gland, first insert the body of the gland through the pre-drilled hole in your enclosure and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Once the gland is fixed in place, loosen the dome nut slightly and feed your cable through the center. Tighten the dome nut securely by hand or with a wrench until the internal seal grips the cable jacket firmly. This action compresses the internal gasket, creating a watertight and dustproof seal while simultaneously providing strain relief to the cable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your cable diameter falls within the 6-12mm range
• Ensure the enclosure hole size is compatible with the PG-13.5 thread standard
• Check if the environmental conditions require an IP68-rated seal

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 compress the internal seal evenly around the cable jacket.
