Cable gland Rittal SZ 2411.601 polyamide M12x1.5 light grey, pack of 50

Rittal SZ 2411.601 is a polyamide cable gland in light grey with an M12x1.5 thread, supplied as a pack of 50 pieces. It is designed to secure and seal cables where they enter enclosures and control cabinets. The gland provides chemical and wear resistance characteristic of polyamide and includes integrated clamping membranes for reliable tightening and strain relief to protect cable conductors and insulation.

Advantages

The polyamide construction ensures good resistance to many industrial chemicals and mechanical wear while remaining lightweight. The M12x1.5 threaded design enables fast installation into matching threaded entries and maintains a secure seal against dust and splash exposure when used appropriately. Integrated clamping membranes provide consistent strain relief and reduce the risk of conductor movement or chafing at the entry point.

Suitable for

• Securing single cables entering electrical enclosures and control cabinets
• Industrial installations with moderate chemical exposure and mechanical stress
• Panel builds and retrofits requiring multiple identical glands (bulk pack use)
• Applications needing strain relief and basic ingress protection at cable entries

When it may not be suitable

This polyamide gland is not intended for high-temperature applications beyond the material’s rated range, nor for prolonged UV exposure without additional protection. It is also not suitable where metal glands are explicitly required for grounding or where higher mechanical impact resistance is necessary.

Key specifications

• Material: polyamide (plastic)
• Thread size: M12 x 1.5
• Colour: light grey
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces
• Integrated clamping membrane for strain relief

How to use

Drill or use a pre-threaded M12 x 1.5 entry in the enclosure wall or cable plate, insert the gland from the outside or inside as appropriate, and tighten to the recommended torque for the thread and material. Pass the cable through the clamping membrane and secure by tightening the gland until the membrane grips the cable firmly to provide strain relief and sealing. Ensure compatibility with the enclosure’s ingress protection requirements and check that cable diameters fall within the gland’s clamping range.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify thread compatibility of the enclosure or panel (M12 x 1.5)
• Confirm cable diameter range suitable for the gland’s clamping membrane
• Assess environmental conditions: temperature range, chemical exposure, and UV exposure
• Determine whether metal glands are required for grounding or higher mechanical protection

Usage recommendations

For reliable sealing and strain relief, select the gland size that matches the cable outer diameter and tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque for polyamide threads; for outdoor installations, consider supplemental UV protection or alternative materials if long-term sun exposure is expected.
