The SILVYN® MPC M20.2 BK cable gland from Lapp is a component for secure mounting of cable protection hoses in the field of electrical and IT installations. It is specifically designed for protection hoses of size 20 and features a M20 threaded connection. The product is made of polyamide (PA66), is halogen-free and UV-resistant, enabling long-term use even under exposure to sunlight. The protection ratings IP65, IP67 and IP68 (up to 2 bar) ensure high protection against dust, water and pressure water, allowing the gland to be used in damp or wet environments as well as outdoors.

Cable gland
The SILVYN® MPC M20.2 BK serves as a connecting element between a cable protection hose and a fixed installation point, such as a wall socket, control enclosure or machine. It enables a secure and tight fixation, thereby protecting cables and lines from mechanical stress, moisture and contamination. The gland is universally applicable and compatible with hose types SILVYN® EL, ELU, ELÖ, ELT and ELR, both with corrugated and smooth surfaces.

Applications
The cable gland is suitable for use in industrial plants, machine building, electrical installations and building automation. It is used in environments requiring high mechanical load capacity and weather resistance, for example in production halls, outdoors or in wet rooms. The IP protection ratings IP65, IP67 and IP68 (up to 2 bar) make it particularly suitable for areas where splashing water, short-term immersion or pressure water may occur.

Functions and equipment in detail
The gland is made of polyamide PA66, a robust plastic offering high mechanical strength and heat resistance. The halogen-free composition reduces the formation of toxic smoke gases in case of fire. UV resistance protects the material from aging due to sunlight exposure. Protection rating IP65 protects against dust and splashing water, IP67 against dust and short-term immersion, and IP68 against dust and pressure water up to 2 bar. These properties make the gland suitable for demanding operating conditions.

Technology explained simply
Protection rating IP65 means the device is fully protected against dust and resistant to splashing water from any direction. IP67 additionally protects against short-term immersion in water, and IP68 against pressure water up to a pressure of 2 bar. These protection ratings are particularly important when the gland is used in damp or wet environments. The choice of polyamide PA66 material ensures high strength and resistance to mechanical stress. The halogen-free formulation is a safety feature that minimizes the formation of toxic smoke gases in case of fire.

The gland is designed for protection hoses of size 20, ensuring a proper fit for the corresponding cable protection hoses in the SILVYN® range. Installation is carried out by simply screwing into a suitable threaded connection, enabling quick and secure installation.

Compatibility and accessories
The cable gland can be used in combination with cable protection hoses SILVYN® EL, ELU, ELÖ, ELT and ELR. These hoses are available in both corrugated and smooth versions and offer different mechanical and electrical properties. The gland is therefore flexibly applicable and adapts to the requirements of various installation scenarios.

Installation and mounting
Mounting is done by screwing the gland into an M20 threaded connection. The hose opening is inserted into the gland and fixed by tightening the thread. The simple mounting allows for quick and reliable installation without additional tools or aids. The gland is designed to ensure a secure and tight connection between hose and installation point.

Advantages in operation
The SILVYN® MPC M20.2 BK provides reliable and tight fixation of cable protection hoses. The high mechanical strength of the polyamide material and the UV- and water-resistant properties ensure a long service life. The protection ratings IP65, IP67 and IP68 (up to 2 bar) allow use in demanding environments. Universal compatibility with various SILVYN® hose types increases flexibility in planning and executing installations. Quick and easy mounting reduces installation time and labor effort.
