The DK-TPE 5.5/9/12-3 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are black-coloured, flexible protective components made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They provide secure and tight guidance of cables and wires through drill holes in wall or ceiling structures, simultaneously offering mechanical protection against damage and sealing against dust and moisture. The glands are available in a pack of 100 pieces and are suitable for use in indoor environments as well as in areas with moderate humidity and temperature influence.

Cable glands made of TPE are characterised by high elasticity and shape stability, enabling easy installation and a lasting fit in the drill hole. The designation DK-TPE 5.5/9/12-3 indicates specific dimensions: the glands are designed for drill holes with diameters of 5.5 mm, 9 mm, and 12 mm, with the number 3 indicating the length of the glands in millimetres. These dimensions allow precise adaptation to different drill hole sizes in components such as switch boxes, distribution boxes, or wall penetrations.

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is a material that combines the properties of thermoplastics and elastomers. It is flexible, resistant to mechanical stress, and offers good chemical resistance against many industrial and household chemicals. The black colour of the glands is not only aesthetically neutral but also functional, as it is UV-resistant and thus does not discolour or degrade when exposed to sunlight for short periods.

The glands are designed as cable glands to safely guide cables and wires through components without damaging the insulation. They also prevent dust, moisture, or small particles from entering the installation, thereby extending the service life of the electrical system. The material properties ensure a tight fit, requiring no additional adhesives or fasteners.

Compatibility and accessories include use in standard installations with cable diameters matching the specified drill hole sizes. The glands are suitable for use in electrical distributions, sockets, switches, and other built-in components where secure and clean cable routing is required. They can be directly inserted into the drill hole and adapt to the shape due to their elasticity.

Installation is carried out by simply inserting the glands into the designated drill hole. Due to the elastic properties of the TPE material, a self-sealing effect occurs as soon as the cable is passed through the gland. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The glands are intended for use in dry and slightly damp indoor environments, with the material offering limited resistance to moisture.

In operation, the glands provide mechanical protection for the cables, prevent shifting or displacement of the wires, and ensure a neat installation. The use of TPE material ensures a long service life and low susceptibility to material fatigue, increasing the reliability of the installation. The glands are not intended for use in explosive environments or under extreme temperatures, as this is not specified in the manufacturer’s data.

The packaging contains 100 pieces, with each piece weighing 0.48 g. The total package weight is 0.048 kg. The glands are available in a neutral, black-coloured version that integrates inconspicuously into electrical installations. The EAN number is 3597470006917.
