The DK-TPE 6/9/12-2 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are black-coloured, flexible protective components made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), specifically developed for the safe and durable routing of cables and wires through drilled holes in panels, enclosures or other components. These rubber glands serve as cable protection and prevent mechanical damage as well as the ingress of dust or moisture at the penetration points. The designation DK-TPE 6/9/12-2 indicates the technical dimensions: the glands are designed for holes with diameters of 6 mm, 9 mm and 12 mm, with the number "5,1 cm ( 2 inch ) referring to a length of 2 mm. The glands are available in a pack of 100 pieces and are particularly suitable for use in electrical installations, machine building or automation technology.

Applications
These cable glands are used in systems and devices where cables or wires must be routed through a wall, enclosure or panel. They protect the wiring from mechanical stress, such as friction or pressure, and prevent the ingress of foreign objects. The glands are especially suitable for applications requiring a tight and simultaneously flexible routing, for example in control and switch enclosures, industrial machines or electrical appliances. The use of TPE as the material ensures high elasticity and resistance to temperature fluctuations, extending the service life of the glands.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The DK-TPE 6/9/12-2 cable glands are designed as continuous, cylindrical elements that adapt elastically and ensure a tight fit in the hole. The black colour is standard and corresponds to the usual configuration for industrial applications. The glands are not equipped with additional locking or mounting elements; they function solely through their shape and elasticity to enable secure routing. The length of 2 mm is designed for compact mounting, with the glands used in holes with the specified diameters (6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm).

Technology Explained Simply
The material TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is an elastic plastic that combines the advantages of rubber and thermoplastics. It is flexible, resistant to mechanical stress, and remains stable at temperatures typical for industrial environments. The glands are not self-cutting; they must be inserted into a pre-drilled hole. The elastic shape ensures that they adapt to the hole and provide a tight cable routing. The black colour is not only visually uniform but also resistant to UV radiation and ageing, extending the service life.

Compatibility and Accessories
The glands are designed for holes with diameters of 6 mm, 9 mm and 12 mm and thus fit standard holes commonly used in electrical and machine building. They can be combined with various cable types, provided the cable diameter is smaller than the hole diameter to ensure secure routing. There are no specific accessories offered by Ses-Sterling for these glands; they are intended for use as individual components.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply inserting the glands into the pre-drilled hole. Due to the elasticity of the TPE material, the gland automatically adapts to the hole and creates a tight, flexible routing. No additional tools or mounting elements are required. The glands are designed for easy manual installation and can be quickly and efficiently installed in series applications.

Operational Advantages
The DK-TPE 6/9/12-2 cable glands provide reliable and durable cable routing that prevents mechanical damage. The use of TPE ensures high flexibility and durability, increasing the service life of the glands. The black-coloured version is visually uniform and well-suited for industrial environments. The glands are available in a pack of 100 pieces, making them suitable for series applications and large projects. The simple installation without additional tools or mounting elements reduces installation effort and the risk of errors.
