The Ses-Sterling Plioprene DK-TPE 5,5/8/12-1,5 black are cable glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically developed for use in electrical and installation technology. These
rubber glands provide secure and tight guidance of cables and lines through holes in wall or ceiling linings, switch cabinets or other components. The glands are available in the colour
black and offer a flexible yet stable fit, minimizing mechanical stress and movement of the cables. The designation DK-TPE 5,5/8/12-1,5 describes the technical dimensions: the glands are designed for holes with diameters of 5.5 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm, with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. The packaging unit contains 100 pieces.
Applications
These
cable glands are used in electrical installation, during the assembly of control systems, in building technology, and in industrial electronics. They are particularly suitable for indoor applications where tight and flexible cable guidance is required. The glands protect cables from mechanical damage, such as abrasion or pressure, and prevent dust or moisture from entering the hole. Due to their elastic properties, they adapt to the hole dimensions and ensure secure fixation without additional tools.
Functions and Features in Detail
The
TPE material (Thermoplastic Elastomer) offers high flexibility combined with good mechanical strength. The glands are suitable for a variety of cable diameters, with the specified hole sizes (5.5 mm, 8 mm, 12 mm) indicating the maximum diameters of the holes into which the glands are inserted. The wall thickness of 1.5 mm ensures sufficient stability to securely fix the cables without damaging them. The
black colour is standard and visually integrates well into most installation environments.
Technology Explained Simply
TPE is a plastic that combines the properties of rubber and thermoplastics. It is elastic, shape-stable, and resistant to mechanical stress. The
cable glands are simply inserted into the prepared hole and, due to their elasticity, conform to the hole wall, creating a tight and secure cable path. The glands are not self-cutting and must be inserted into a pre-drilled hole. The material density and wall thickness of 1.5 mm ensure that the glands are not easily deformed and provide a durable fit.
Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are compatible with cables and lines that fit into the specified hole sizes (5.5 mm, 8 mm, 12 mm). They can be used in conjunction with various installation systems, such as switch cabinets, distribution cabinets, or wall linings. There are no specific accessories recommended by the manufacturer as supplementary. The glands are used as individual components and require no additional mounting aids.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the glands into the prepared hole. The elastic structure ensures that the glands adapt to the hole and create a tight connection. Cables are then passed through the glands. No tools are required.
Operational Advantages
The
rubber glands offer simple, fast, and secure cable guidance without additional mounting aids. The elastic structure ensures a tight fit, preventing dust or moisture from entering. The glands are easy to handle and adapt to hole dimensions, enabling flexible use in various installation scenarios. The
black colour ensures discreet integration into the installation. The packaging of 100 pieces enables economical use in larger projects.
