Lapp Skintop DIX Sealing Insert for Cable Glands, PG21, 5 x 5mm Holes, IP54

The Lapp Skintop DIX sealing insert is a high-quality component engineered for use with PG21 cable glands, specifically designed to facilitate the passage of multiple cables through a single entry point. This insert features five individual holes, each with a diameter of 5mm, allowing for organized and secure cable management in various industrial environments. By providing a reliable seal, it ensures that your cable entry points remain protected against environmental factors while maintaining structural integrity.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this sealing insert is its ability to streamline cable installation by allowing multiple cables to pass through one gland, which saves space and reduces the number of required entry points. The durable material construction provides consistent performance, while the precise hole sizing ensures a snug fit for each cable, preventing movement and potential damage. Its design is optimized for efficiency, making it a practical solution for complex wiring setups that require both organization and environmental protection.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and cabinets
• Automation and robotics wiring systems
• Machinery requiring multiple cable entries
• Applications where space-saving cable management is essential

When it may not be suitable

This sealing insert is not intended for use in environments requiring high-pressure washdowns or full submersion, as it provides an IP54 protection rating. It is also not suitable for cables with diameters significantly larger or smaller than the 5mm hole specification, as this would compromise the integrity of the seal.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: PG21 cable glands
• Number of holes: 5
• Hole diameter: 5mm
• Protection rating: IP54
• Material: Durable sealing elastomer

How to use

To install the Lapp Skintop DIX sealing insert, first ensure that the cable gland is properly mounted to the enclosure. Remove the standard sealing ring from the PG21 gland and replace it with the DIX insert. Carefully feed each cable through one of the five designated holes. Once all cables are in position, tighten the cable gland cap according to the manufacturer's torque specifications to compress the insert and create a secure, dust- and splash-resistant seal around the cables.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing cable gland is a PG21 size.
• Ensure all cables intended for use have a diameter of 5mm for an optimal seal.
• Confirm that the IP54 protection rating meets the environmental requirements of your installation site.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, ensure that the cables are inserted straight and are not under excessive tension, as this can distort the seal and reduce the effectiveness of the IP54 protection.
