The Plioprene DK-TPE 5,5/9/12-2 black from Ses-Sterling are cable glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as protection for cables and wires when passing through components, such as wall or ceiling openings, and ensure a secure, durable seal. The glands are black and made of an elastic, flexible material that adapts to the shape of the opening, providing both mechanical and electrical insulation. The designation DK-TPE 5,5/9/12-2 describes the technical dimensions: an inner diameter of 5.5 mm, an outer diameter of 9 mm, and a total length of 12 mm, with the number 2 indicating a specific design variant. These glands are suitable for installations requiring a tight, weather-resistant, and mechanically robust connection.

Cable glands made of TPE offer high flexibility and elasticity, allowing them to be easily inserted into the designated opening and achieve a secure, tight fit. The TPE material is characterised by good chemical resistance and resistance to UV radiation, making the glands suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments. The black finish is visually discreet and blends well into most installation scenarios. The glands are designed for easy installation without requiring additional tools or adhesives.

Cable protection is the primary purpose of these glands. They protect cables from mechanical stresses such as friction, pressure, or bending, while simultaneously preventing the ingress of dust, moisture, or other environmental influences. The sealing is achieved through the elastic nature of the material, which conforms to the cable surface and ensures a tight fit. This is particularly important in areas where high safety and reliability of the installation are required, such as in industrial plants, buildings, or when wiring electrical appliances.

Technology explained clearly: The glands are made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), a plastic that combines the properties of thermoplastics (processable by heating) and elastomers (elastic, flexible). This material allows for high dimensional stability combined with flexibility, enabling the glands to adapt to the geometry of the opening and provide a tight seal. The black colour is standard and serves to ensure visual harmony in the installation. The dimensions 5,5/9/12-2 refer to the inner diameter, outer diameter, and total length, with design variant 2 indicating a specific shape optimised for secure fastening and sealing.

Compatibility and accessories: The glands are designed for use with cables and wires having a diameter of approximately 5.5 mm. They fit into openings with an outer diameter of 9 mm and a length of 12 mm. They are used in combination with other installation components, such as cable entry plates, wall penetrations, or switchboards, to ensure a secure and tight connection. The glands are not connected to additional components such as screws, nuts, or adhesives; they function as standalone sealing elements.

Installation and mounting: Installation is performed by simply inserting the gland into the designated opening. The elastic nature of the material ensures that the gland automatically conforms to the shape of the opening, creating a secure, tight fit. Cables are passed through the inner side of the gland, where the elastic sheathing provides mechanical protection. Installation requires no additional tools or aids; the glands are ready to use immediately.

Operational advantages: The glands provide a reliable, durable seal that remains stable even under long-term exposure to environmental influences such as moisture, dust, or temperature fluctuations. The high flexibility of the TPE material allows for easy installation and a secure fit without requiring additional measures. The black finish ensures discreet integration into the installation. The glands are suitable for use in various industries, including electrical installation, building services, and industrial plant construction.

The packaging contains 100 pieces of the glands, representing an economical and practical pack size for use in larger installations. The weight per piece is 0.43 g, facilitating easy handling and installation. The glands are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as the TPE material is UV-resistant and withstands atmospheric influences. The product designation DK-TPE 5,5/9/12-2 is unambiguous and precisely describes the technical features, enabling easy selection and identification.
