The Lapp 90-degree protective hose cable gland PG11 IP68 SILVYN KLICK grey is compared with alternative solutions from the same manufacturer: the Lapp SKINTOP ST PG11, Lapp SILVYN 53017210, Lapp SKINTOP BS PG11, Lapp SKINTOP ST PG36, and Lapp SKINTOP 53111060 cable glands. All products by Lapp are designed for professional industrial installations and feature an IP68 dust and moisture protection rating. The main differences lie in the structural design (a 90-degree angle for protective conduits in the main model versus straight glands in the alternatives), thread types (PG11, M16, PG36, M50), and intended use for cables or protective conduits.
⚙️ Comparison of key characteristics and design features of the selected Lapp cable glands, including thread type, protection rating, material, and installation purpose.

| Product type | 90-degree angle fitting for protective conduit | Straight cable gland | Straight cable gland | Straight cable gland with anti-bend protection | Straight cable gland | Straight cable gland | The main model is built for angular conduit routing, whereas the alternatives are designed for straight cable entry. |
| Thread type and size | PG11 | PG11 | M16x1.5 | PG11 | PG36 | M50 x 1.5 | The thread size determines compatibility with specific knockouts and threaded holes on enclosures. |
| Protection rating | IP68 | IP68 | IP66, IP68, IP69 | IP68 | IP68 | IP68 | All options offer robust sealing, while SILVYN 53017210 adds high-pressure and high-temperature washdown resistance (IP69). |
| Material | Not specified | Polyamide | Black polyamide | Polyamide (silver-grey) | Polyamide | Grey polyamide | Durable polyamide construction ensures reliable mechanical stability and longevity in industrial environments. |
| Purpose and sizing | Cable management in protective hoses | For 4–10 mm cables | Professional systems (pack of 100) | Cable entry with strain relief against bending | For 24–32 mm cables | For large cables (pack of 5) | Products vary by supported cable diameter and installation specifics, from standard to heavy-duty power lines. |
◎ Evaluation of use cases and suitable application scenarios for each Lapp cable gland.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Routing cables at a 90-degree angle using a protective conduit (PG11 thread) | Lapp SILVYN KLICK PG11 | Features a 90-degree design tailored for managing conduits efficiently in tight routing spaces. |
| Standard straight cable entry and strain relief for diameters between 4 and 10 mm | Lapp SKINTOP ST PG11 | Provides reliable clamping and environmental sealing for small to medium cables with a PG11 thread. |
| Installations requiring resistance to high-pressure washdowns | Lapp SILVYN 53017210 | Offers enhanced IP69 protection and is supplied in a professional pack of 100 pieces for demanding environments. |
| Preventing cable damage from excessive bending at the entry point | Lapp SKINTOP BS PG11 | Equipped with an integrated spiral bend relief element to protect cables from mechanical stress. |
| Connecting heavy-duty thick cables with diameters from 24 to 32 mm | Lapp SKINTOP ST PG36 | Engineered to securely clamp large power cables using a standard PG36 threaded connection. |
| Industrial cable entry for large cross-sections with M50 threading | Lapp SKINTOP 53111060 | Suitable for heavy industrial enclosures requiring an M50x1.5 connection (supplied in a 5-pack). |
The main Lapp SILVYN KLICK model with its 90-degree angle and PG11 thread is ideal when you need to change the routing direction of protective conduits while maintaining an IP68 seal. In contrast, the alternative SKINTOP and SILVYN products are straight glands offering various thread sizes (from PG11 to M50) and specific benefits like bend protection or accommodation for very large cable diameters. Choose the main model for angular conduit installations, while selecting the alternatives based on your exact straight cable diameter, thread requirement, and specialized environmental needs.
