ELEKTROPLAST Cable Gland M25, 13-18mm, IP68, Grey Plastic

The ELEKTROPLAST M25 cable gland is a professional-grade component engineered to provide a secure and reliable entry point for cables into electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and control panels. Constructed from high-quality, durable grey plastic, this cable gland offers essential strain relief, preventing cables from being pulled or damaged at the connection point while maintaining the integrity of the electrical installation.

Advantages

This cable gland excels in providing superior environmental protection, featuring an IP68 rating that guarantees a completely dust-tight seal and protection against prolonged immersion in water. Its robust design ensures long-term performance in demanding environments, effectively shielding internal electrical components from moisture, dust, and debris. The installation process is straightforward, allowing for quick and efficient cable management in various industrial and commercial settings.

Suitable for

• Securing cables in electrical junction boxes
• Protecting control panels in industrial environments
• Outdoor electrical installations requiring moisture resistance
• Cable entry points for machinery and automation equipment

When it may not be suitable

This product is designed specifically for cables with a diameter between 13mm and 18mm and may not provide an adequate seal for cables outside this range. It is intended for standard plastic-sheathed cables and may not be compatible with specialized armored or high-temperature cables that require metallic glands.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M25
• Cable diameter range: 13-18mm
• Ingress protection rating: IP68
• Material: Durable grey plastic
• Function: Strain relief and environmental sealing

How to use

To install the cable gland, first insert the threaded body through the pre-drilled hole in the enclosure wall and secure it firmly using the provided locknut. Once the gland is fixed, loosen the dome nut slightly, pass the cable through the gland, and tighten the dome nut until the internal seal compresses securely around the cable jacket. This action ensures both a firm grip on the cable and a watertight seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the enclosure hole diameter matches the M25 thread size
• Ensure your cable outer diameter falls strictly within the 13-18mm range
• Check if the environmental conditions require a higher chemical or impact resistance than plastic provides

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain the IP68 rating, ensure the dome nut is tightened sufficiently to compress the internal seal evenly around the cable. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the plastic threads or the cable jacket.
