The DK-TPE 6/9/12-1.5 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are black-coloured, flexible protective devices made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They are used for safe and tight cable and wire guidance through holes in wall or ceiling structures, particularly in areas where mechanical protection and a certain degree of elasticity are required. The glands are available in a packaging unit of 100 pieces and are suitable for diameters of 6, 9, and 12 mm, with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. The TPE material composition ensures high flexibility and resistance to mechanical stress, making them suitable for use in industrial and commercial installations.

Cable glands are commonly used in electrical installations to protect cables during passage through building components from mechanical damage. The TPE technology offers a combination of rubber elasticity and thermoplastic processability, enabling easy installation and simultaneous durability. The black colour is standard and meets common requirements in electrical and building technology. The glands are not intended for use in explosive environments, as no specific approvals or protection categories such as Ex or ATEX are mentioned.

Applications include the installation of electrical wiring in concrete, steel, or wooden structures, where tight and protective cable guidance is required. The glands can also be used in combination with other protection systems such as cable protection conduits or thermal insulation to create an integrated protection solution. Typical use is in building and industrial electrical installations, where simple but reliable cable guidance is required.

Functions and features in detail include elastic shape stability, allowing the glands to be easily inserted into the hole and ensuring a secure fit. The wall thickness of 1.5 mm provides sufficient mechanical strength to protect cables from abrasion without compromising flexibility. The glands are not self-lubricating, but the material properties allow for smooth installation. The packaging unit of 100 pieces offers economical handling for larger installations.

Technology explained simply means that the TPE material has a thermoplastic elastomer structure that behaves flexibly at room temperature but remains stable at higher temperatures. This makes the glands resistant to temperature fluctuations within the typical application range. The material composition is not further specified, but the use of TPE is common in electrical installations due to its good combination of flexibility, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. The glands are not specified for use in damp or wet environments, as no IP rating or water tightness is mentioned.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use with standard holes in building components. The glands are not connected to additional components such as cable glands, seals, or mounting aids. Compatibility is ensured when the hole diameters are 6, 9, or 12 mm and the wall thickness of the hole is sufficient to securely fix the glands.

Installation and mounting is done by simply inserting the glands into the prepared hole. The elastic shape of the TPE material ensures that the glands adapt to the hole and provide a secure fit. No additional fastening or tools are required.

Operational advantages include easy handling, high availability in standard sizes, and mechanical protection for cables. The glands are not specified for special environments such as high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, or humidity, but they meet the basic requirements for cable protection in dry, stationary installations. The packaging unit of 100 pieces enables efficient storage and use in larger projects.
