## Summary description

Rittal 9686.800 is a steel strain relief connector designed for electrical enclosures. Made of steel and finished in steel colour, this accessory secures M8-style cable entries and provides mechanical protection and strain relief for conductors entering cabinets. Suitable for industrial control cabinets, junction boxes and panel installations where reliable cable retention is required.

## Long description

Rittal 9686.800 is a steel strain relief connector designed for electrical enclosures. This M8 cable gland accessory provides mechanical protection and reliable retention for conductors entering control cabinets, junction boxes and panels. The steel construction and matching finish make it suitable for industrial environments where a durable, metal cable entry is required. It is intended for use with M8-style cable entries and for assembling top-mounting components or connecting busbars where secure cable fixation is necessary.
Advantages
The steel body offers robust mechanical strength and resistance to deformation under tension, ensuring that cables remain secure during installation and operation. The connector's design facilitates a compact, low-profile cable entry that minimises space usage while maintaining strain relief. Being a metal accessory, it provides better grounding continuity potential compared with many plastic alternatives and is suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications.
Suitable for
 Industrial control cabinets and switchgear
 Junction boxes and distribution panels
 Panel installations requiring M8-style cable entries
 Top-mounting component assembly and busbar connections
When it may not be suitable
This steel strain relief connector is not intended for use with cable sizes or thread forms other than M8-style entries; compatibility must be verified before installation. It may not be the best choice in corrosive environments unless additional corrosion protection measures are applied or a corrosion-resistant variant is specified.
Key specifications
 Material: steel
 Finish: steel colour
 Intended cable/thread style: M8 cable entries
 Application: strain relief and mechanical protection for conductors
 Typical mounting: panel or enclosure wall
How to use
Drill or prepare an appropriately sized M8-style entry in the enclosure wall, insert the strain relief connector and secure it according to standard installation practice for metal cable glands. Route the conductor through the connector, tighten the securing element to achieve mechanical retention and check that the cable is fixed without undue bending stress at the entry point. Ensure compatible sealing or grommet elements are used if environmental sealing is required.
What to consider before purchase
 Confirm that the enclosure entry and cable diameter match M8-style dimensions.
 Assess environmental conditions (moisture, chemicals, temperature) and whether additional corrosion protection is necessary.
 Verify grounding or bonding requirements for metal cable glands in your installation.
 Ensure mechanical clearance and panel thickness are compatible with the connector design.
Usage recommendations
Use the connector with appropriately sized M8 cables and follow enclosure manufacturer guidelines; tighten to recommended torque for metal fittings and, where required, add suitable seals or washers to achieve the needed environmental protection and electrical continuity.
