Flange plate with brush insert Rittal DK 7705.035 for enclosure openings, RAL 7035

Rittal DK 7705.035 is a flange plate with integrated brush insert designed for enclosure openings and cable entry. Finished in RAL 7035, the plate allows cables to pass through an enclosure while limiting dust ingress and maintaining a tidy appearance. The brush insert holds cables in place and reduces gaps around multiple cable entries, making it suitable for electrical cabinets, control panels and various industrial enclosures where organized cable routing and basic protection against particulates are required.

Advantages

The flange plate combines a rigid mounting flange with a brush seal that conforms to cable shapes, helping to retain cables and limit the size of openings. Its RAL 7035 surface finish matches standard industrial enclosures for a consistent look. The design simplifies cable installation and contributes to cleaner cabinet interiors by reducing the entry of dust and debris through cable openings.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Routing and sealing power, signal and data cables into electrical enclosures
• Control panels and switchgear where organized cable entry is needed
• Industrial cabinets in workshops, production lines and machine control areas
• Retrofitting existing enclosures to improve cable retention and reduce particulate ingress

When it may not be suitable

The flange plate provides basic dust protection and cable retention but is not intended as a watertight or gas-tight solution. It will not provide IP-rated sealing against significant moisture or pressurised ingress without additional sealing measures. For very large cable bundles or irregularly shaped penetrations, a custom grommet or larger cable entry system may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Material: Rigid flange with integrated brush insert
• Finish: RAL 7035 (light grey)
• Primary function: Cable entry with brush seal to reduce gaps and dust ingress
• Typical applications: Electrical cabinets, control panels, industrial enclosures
• Weight: approximately 1.5 kg

How to use

Mount the flange plate into the enclosure opening using appropriate fasteners and sealing if required. Pass cables through the brush insert; the bristles will conform around conductors to hold them and limit the opening. Trim or arrange cables as needed for strain relief and routing within the enclosure. If improved environmental sealing is required, apply compatible gaskets or sealants between the flange and enclosure according to enclosure manufacturer guidance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the flange plate dimensions against the enclosure opening to ensure proper fit
• Confirm that the brush insert can accommodate the number and diameter of cables you intend to route
• Assess whether additional sealing is required for moisture or gas protection, as this part provides only brush-based dust mitigation
• Ensure the RAL 7035 finish matches your enclosure if visual consistency is important

Usage recommendations

For regular maintenance, inspect the brush insert for accumulated dust or wear and clean or replace it as necessary. When routing high-voltage or critical signal cables, combine the flange plate with proper strain relief and separation methods to maintain safety and performance.
