The Plioprene DK-TPE 8/12/16-1.5 black from Ses-Sterling are cable glands made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), designed for use in electrical and installation technology. These
rubber glands are used for secure and tight cable and wire guidance through wall or ceiling penetrations, particularly in installations requiring mechanical and chemical resistance. The glands are available in the colour
black and are supplied in a pack of 100 pieces.
Applications
These
cable glands are suitable for use in industrial and commercial installations where reliable cable guidance through components is required. They are particularly suitable for applications in electrical installations, such as mounting sockets, switches or other electrical components, where a tight and mechanically stable cable guidance through component openings must be ensured. The glands are designed for diameters of 8, 12 and 16 mm, with the indication 1.5 referring to the wall thickness of 1.5 mm. They are used in indoor environments as well as in areas where a certain resistance to mechanical stress and environmental influences is required.
Functions and Features in Detail
The
cable glands are made of TPE, a thermoplastic elastomer that combines rubber elasticity with thermoplastic processability. This allows for flexible yet stable cable guidance, with the glands elastically adapting to the cable shape and ensuring a tight seal. The
black colour is typical for electrical components and ensures visual harmony in the installation. The glands are designed for easy installation – simply slide them over the cable and insert into the designated opening, where the elastic structure ensures secure anchoring.
Technology Explained Simply
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a material that combines the advantages of rubber and plastic. It is flexible, resistant to mechanical stress, and provides good sealing performance. The
wall thickness of 1.5 mm ensures sufficient stability to safely guide cables without causing damage. The
black colour is not only aesthetic but also functional, as it is UV-resistant and has proven reliable in electrical installations.
Compatibility and Accessories
The
cable glands are designed for cable diameters of 8, 12 and 16 mm, making them compatible with a wide range of standard cables used in electrical installations. They are not specific to particular brands or models, but can be used universally as long as the cable diameters fall within the specified tolerances.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply sliding the gland onto the cable and inserting it into the designated opening in the component. The elastic structure ensures that the gland adapts to the cable shape and creates a tight connection. No additional tools or aids are required. The glands are designed for single-use installation and are not intended for repeated use.
Operational Advantages
The
cable glands offer a simple, reliable and cost-efficient solution for cable guidance in electrical installations. The use of TPE ensures long service life and high mechanical stability. The
black colour ensures visual uniformity in the installation. The glands are available in a pack of 100 pieces, making them suitable for large-scale installations. Their easy handling and universal applicability make them a standard product in electrical installations.
