Sealing kit Rittal AX 2580.117 — plastic housing, light grey, pack of 5

Rittal AX 2580.117 is a sealing kit for cable and enclosure entries, supplied as a pack of five light grey plastic inserts. Designed to fit into compatible enclosure openings, these slotted seal inserts allow individual cable entry while maintaining dust and splash protection. The geometry and material of the inserts support simple installation and basic environmental sealing for electrical enclosures and control cabinets.

Advantages

The seals are made of durable plastic in a neutral light grey finish that blends with common enclosure colours. Slotted design together with compatible inlays permits insertion of preassembled cables and enables flexible cable routing through one entry point. Supplied as a set of five, the kit provides multiple entries for small-scale installations or spare parts for maintenance.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Sealing cable entries in electrical enclosures and control cabinets
• Retrofit or maintenance of existing housings requiring dust and splash protection
• Applications with preassembled cables where individual cable sealing is needed
• Small installations or panels requiring multiple entry points

When it may not be suitable

This sealing kit is intended for basic environmental protection (dust and splash). It is not designed for high-pressure washdown, full waterproofing under immersion, or extreme chemical resistance. For large-diameter cables, cable glands, or specialized sealing requirements, a different sealing solution or dedicated cable gland may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Material: plastic
• Colour: light grey
• Contents: 5 sealing inserts per pack
• Design: slotted inserts suitable for individual cable entry

How to use

Insert the sealing inserts into compatible knockouts or entry plates in the enclosure according to the enclosure manufacturer’s instructions. If inlays are used, combine the slotted inserts with the appropriate inlays to create a secure fit around cables. Feed cables through the slots; the flexible slotted shape accommodates preassembled cables while maintaining contact around the cable to reduce ingress of dust and splashes. Verify seating and alignment after installation and replace any damaged inserts to preserve protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your enclosure’s knockout dimensions and entry plate layout
• Confirm that the slot size and insert material meet environmental protection needs (dust/splash vs. watertight)
• Ensure the kit’s colour and plastic finish are acceptable for the intended installation
• Determine the number of entries required to select the correct number of packs

Usage recommendations

For reliable sealing, use the inserts only in enclosures and entry frames recommended by the enclosure manufacturer, avoid excessive cable strain at the entry point, and inspect seals periodically for wear or damage. Replace any deformed or cracked inserts to maintain dust and splash protection.
