The
cable glands of type
Plioprene DK-TPE 8/10/14-1,5 black from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for use in electrical and installation technology. They serve as
cable protection and
cable passage element when routing cables through wall or ceiling openings, particularly in areas where
tight sealing and
mechanical stability are required. The glands are made of
TPE material (Thermoplastic Elastomer), known for its flexibility, weather resistance, and high abrasion resistance. The color is
black, making them suitable for use in industrial and technical installations where a discreet appearance is desired.
Applications
These
cable glands are typically used during the installation of electrical wiring, data cables, or other cables that are routed through components such as walls, ceilings, or machine enclosures. They protect cables from mechanical damage, such as friction, pressure, or tearing, and simultaneously ensure
tight sealing against dust, moisture, and small particles. Due to their material composition, they are also suitable for applications in environments with moderate temperature fluctuations. The glands are particularly advantageous in industrial electrical installations, building technology, and during the assembly of machines and systems, where reliable cable routing is required.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The
cable glands DK-TPE 8/10/14-1,5 are designed as
through glands, meaning they provide a continuous, uninterrupted path for the cable. The designation 8/10/14-1,5 describes the
inner diameters of the glands, available in three different sizes: 8 mm, 10 mm, and 14 mm, each with a
wall thickness of 1.5 mm. These dimensions allow for a precise fit for various cable diameters and ensure a secure, non-slip guidance. The
black color is not only visually neutral but also resistant to UV radiation and aging, extending the service life of the glands.
Technology Explained Simply
The used
TPE material (Thermoplastic Elastomer) combines the advantages of rubber and plastic. It is flexible yet resistant to mechanical stress, chemical influences, and temperature fluctuations. The
wall thickness of 1.5 mm ensures sufficient stability to safely guide the cable and simultaneously provide tight sealing. The glands are not self-cutting; they must be inserted into the corresponding opening, where the elastic shape ensures a secure fit. The
through design prevents cable damage at the passage point and ensures even distribution of forces.
Compatibility and Accessories
The
cable glands DK-TPE 8/10/14-1,5 are universally applicable and compatible with a wide range of cable types, particularly electrical wiring, data cables, and other flexible cables. They can be used in conjunction with various mounting elements such as wall passages, cable entry points, or machine enclosures. The glands are not specifically designed for a particular standard or approval, but serve as general
cable protection and
sealing element in installation technology. There are no specific accessories that must be combined directly with this item — the glands are inserted directly into the intended opening.
Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply inserting the glands into the designated opening, where the elastic shape of the TPE material ensures a secure fit. The glands are not self-cutting, so the opening in the component must already be prepared to match the desired inner diameter (8 mm, 10 mm, or 14 mm). Installation requires no additional tools or adhesives. The glands are designed for single-use mounting and should not be reused, as the elastic properties may degrade under repeated stress.
Operational Advantages
The
cable glands provide reliable
cable protection and prevent mechanical damage as well as ingress of dust and moisture. The
TPE material composition ensures long service life and resistance to environmental influences. The
through design and
precise fit ensure secure and tight cable guidance, increasing operational safety. The glands are easy to install and require no additional mounting aids, reducing installation time. The
black color blends visually into industrial and technical environments without being conspicuous.
The packaging contains
100 pcs of the glands, suitable for larger installations or series mounting. The weight specification of
0.58 g per piece indicates that this is a lightweight yet robust component. The EAN (3597470007082) serves for unique product identification in trade.
