Cable gland Harting 09000005353 metal IP68 for cable sealing and strain relief

Harting Cable Gland 09000005353 is a metal cable gland engineered to provide IP68-rated sealing and reliable strain relief for cables in demanding environments. Designed for industrial and outdoor applications, this cable gland protects cable entry points from water and dust ingress while ensuring mechanical retention and a secure connection. The robust metal construction supports long-term use where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are required.

Advantages

This metal cable gland combines IP68 sealing performance with strong strain relief to minimize cable movement and reduce wear at the entry point. Its metal body offers enhanced mechanical protection compared with plastic glands and maintains sealing integrity under vibration and mechanical load. The design is suitable for repeated installation cycles and provides a secure interface between cables and enclosures used in wet, dusty, or outdoor conditions.

Suitable for

• Industrial enclosures and control cabinets
• Outdoor junction boxes and weather-exposed installations
• Machinery and equipment with vibration or movement
• Cable entries where IP68 water- and dust-tightness is required

Key specifications

• Material: metal construction for improved mechanical strength
• Ingress protection: IP68-rated sealing suitable for temporary immersion and dust-tight applications
• Function: cable sealing and strain relief to secure and protect cable entry points
• Suitable environment: industrial, outdoor and harsh-condition installations

How to use

Install the cable gland by preparing the enclosure entry hole to match the gland thread or mounting type, then insert the gland and tighten according to the enclosure and cable diameter requirements. Pass the cable through the gland and compress the sealing components to achieve IP68 tightness while providing the desired strain relief. Ensure the gland is tightened so the cable cannot move freely and that the sealing element conforms to the cable sheath. Follow any enclosure manufacturer torque or assembly guidance to avoid over-tightening.

Usage recommendations

Choose the correct cable diameter range and check compatibility with the enclosure thread or mounting hole. Verify sealing and strain relief after installation and periodically inspect for corrosion or damage in harsh environments. Use appropriate sealing washers or backing plates if required by the enclosure to maintain overall ingress protection.
