The
DK-TPE 3/5/8-1,5 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are
rubber glands made of
TPE material (Thermoplastic Elastomer), specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as
cable protection when cables are passed through drilled holes in components such as wall or ceiling panels, metal conduits, or other installation elements. The glands are available in the colour
black and enable secure, durable, and flexible cable guidance, while simultaneously providing mechanical protection against abrasion and mechanical stress.
Applications
These
cable glands are used in industrial electrical installations, building technology, and machine and plant cabling. They are particularly suitable for situations where cables must be routed through narrow holes without damaging the insulation. The glands elastically conform to the shape of the hole, preventing cable displacement or slippage. Due to their composition of
TPE, they are flexible, resistant to mechanical stress, and suitable for indoor use.
Functions and Features in Detail
The
DK-TPE 3/5/8-1,5 cable glands are designed as
through glands, meaning they are continuous along their entire length and do not require additional fastening elements. The designation 3/5/8-1,5 refers to the compatible hole sizes: the glands are designed for holes with diameters of 3 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm, with the glands themselves having a length of 1.5 mm. The
black colour is a visual characteristic that makes the glands easily identifiable during installation and ensures good compatibility with many installation components. The glands are made of
TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer that offers high flexibility, elasticity, and mechanical strength.
Technical Explanation
The material
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) provides high elasticity and shape stability, allowing the glands to elastically adapt to the hole and ensure a secure fit. The glands are not rigid, but soft enough to guide cables without pressure or damage. The
length of 1.5 mm is sufficient to ensure stable positioning in the hole without being excessively long and interfering in the installation area. The
black colour is a visual characteristic that makes the glands easily identifiable during installation and ensures good compatibility with many installation components.
Compatibility and Accessories
The
DK-TPE 3/5/8-1,5 cable glands are compatible with holes of the specified diameters (3 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm) and can be used in combination with various installation components such as wall panels, metal conduits, or other parts. They are available as individual units and can be directly inserted into the hole without additional fastening elements. The glands are not connected to other components such as cable ties, screws, or tools — they are supplied as individual protective parts.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the glands into the pre-drilled hole. Due to the elastic properties of the
TPE material, the gland automatically conforms to the hole and holds securely in place. Cables are then routed through the gland, with the insulation remaining protected. The installation requires no additional tools or fastening elements. The glands are intended for indoor use and are not specified for outdoor applications.
Operational Advantages
The
DK-TPE 3/5/8-1,5 cable glands provide reliable mechanical protection for cables when passing through holes. The
TPE material composition ensures long service life, flexibility, and resistance to mechanical stress. The glands are easy to install, require no additional tools, and elastically adapt to the hole. The
black colour ensures good visibility and visual harmony in the installation area. The glands are supplied in a pack of 100 pieces, making them suitable for larger installations.
Scope of Delivery
The glands are delivered in a pack of 100 pieces. The glands are individual components intended for direct installation. No additional components such as cable ties, screws, or tools are included.
