The Ses-Sterling cable glands DK-TPE 5/8/11-1,5 are specifically designed for use in electrical and IT installations. These rubber glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) provide secure and tight cable and wire guidance through components such as wall penetrations, enclosures or control panels. The glands are available in the colour black and offer a flexible yet stable fit, providing mechanical protection for the cables. The designation DK-TPE 5/8/11-1,5 refers to the technical dimensions: the glands are designed for diameters of 5 mm, 8 mm and 11 mm, with the specification “-1,5” indicating a specific construction or thickness of 1.5 mm, which is relevant for sealing performance.

Applications
These cable glands are used in industrial electrical installations, building automation, and IT infrastructures, where secure and tight cable guidance is required. They are particularly suitable for use in enclosed systems, where mechanical protection and a certain sealing effect against dust or moisture must be ensured. The glands are intended for indoor use, and the TPE material composition offers good temperature resistance and ageing resistance.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The rubber glands made of TPE are elastic and shape-stable, allowing them to adapt to the geometry of the cables being routed and providing a firm yet non-damaging grip. The black surface is resistant to UV radiation and chemical influences, increasing the service life in operation. The glands are available in a packaging unit of 100 pieces, making them suitable for larger installations or series mounting. The weight specification of 0.32 g per piece indicates that this is a lightweight yet robust component.

Technology Explained Simply
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a plastic that combines the properties of rubber with the processability of thermoplastics. This means that the glands are flexible and elastic, yet retain their shape even at higher temperatures. The cable glands are designed to enclose the cable and simultaneously provide mechanical protection by shielding it from mechanical stresses such as friction or pressure. The thickness of 1.5 mm ensures sufficient resistance to external influences without damaging the cable.

Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are designed for cable diameters of 5 mm, 8 mm and 11 mm, covering a wide range of cable types in electrical and IT installations. They are not specifically designed for a particular standard or approval, but serve as mechanical protection and sealing element.

Mounting and Installation
Installation is done by simply inserting the glands into the designated hole or opening. The cable is then routed through the gland, with the elastic shape of the TPE material ensuring a firm yet non-damaging grip. No additional fastening or tools are required. The glands are designed to be easily pushed into the opening, creating a tight fit.

Operational Advantages
The rubber glands made of TPE provide reliable mechanical protection for cables routed through components. The elastic structure ensures a tight fit that prevents dust and moisture ingress without damaging the cable. The black surface is aesthetically neutral and fits into most installation scenarios. The packaging unit of 100 pieces enables efficient handling in larger projects. The TPE material composition ensures long service life and resistance to environmental influences.
