ELEKTROPLAST M16 Cable Gland, 5-10mm, IP68, Grey Plastic

The ELEKTROPLAST M16 cable gland is a robust and reliable solution for securing cables in various electrical and industrial environments. Designed for cables with diameters ranging from 5 to 10 mm, this component ensures a tight, protective seal that prevents dust ingress and water penetration. Constructed from high-quality, durable plastic, it provides long-lasting performance and effective strain relief, maintaining the integrity of electrical connections in demanding conditions.

Advantages

This cable gland offers superior protection with an IP68 ingress protection rating, making it suitable for environments where moisture and dust are present. The high-grade plastic material ensures resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors, contributing to a secure and stable cable entry point. Its design facilitates quick and easy installation, providing a professional finish while ensuring that cables remain firmly in place, thereby reducing the risk of accidental disconnection or damage to the wiring.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical enclosures
• Outdoor junction boxes
• Control panels and automation systems
• Wiring installations requiring moisture protection

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed for standard plastic-sheathed cables and may not be suitable for armored cables or applications requiring high-temperature resistance beyond the specifications of standard industrial plastics. It is intended for use with specific cable diameters and should not be forced onto cables outside the 5-10 mm range.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16
• Cable diameter range: 5-10 mm
• Ingress protection rating: IP68
• Material: Durable plastic
• Color: Grey

How to use

To install the ELEKTROPLAST M16 cable gland, first insert the gland body into the pre-drilled hole of the enclosure and secure it firmly with the provided locknut. Feed the cable through the gland until the desired length is inside the enclosure. Tighten the dome nut by hand or with a suitable tool to compress the internal sealing ring around the cable. This action creates a secure grip and a watertight seal, ensuring the connection is protected from environmental elements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the M16 thread size matches your enclosure's mounting hole.
• Ensure the cable diameter falls within the 5-10 mm range for an effective seal.
• Check the environmental requirements of your installation site to ensure IP68 protection is sufficient.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to compress the seal evenly around the cable jacket. Avoid over-tightening with excessive force, as this may damage the plastic threads.
