The Ses-Sterling Plioprene DK-TPE 10/12/16-1 black is a cable gland made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), designed for use in electrical and installation technology. It is used for secure and tight cable and wire routing through holes in panels, enclosures or other components. The gland is available in black and is supplied in a pack of 100 pieces. The TPE material ensures high flexibility as well as good resistance to mechanical stress and environmental influences.

Cable glands enable clean and professional cable routing, while simultaneously serving as mechanical protection and sealing. The designation DK-TPE 10/12/16-1 refers to the compatible hole and cable diameters, with the gland designed for holes of 10, 12 and 16 mm. The gland is designed as a continuous unit, enabling easy installation and uniform cable guidance. The black colour is standard and visually integrates well into most technical environments.

Functions and features in detail include an elastic shape that adapts to the geometry of the hole, ensuring a tight fit. The gland is suitable for use in electrical installations where mechanical protection and sealing against dust and moisture are required. The TPE material composition ensures long service life and high resistance to frequent bending and tensile loads. The gland is not intended for use in explosive environments, as no specific approvals are specified.

Technology explained simply shows that TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer combining the properties of rubber with the processability of plastics. This means the gland remains flexible even under repeated stress and can adapt without cracking. The elastic structure ensures a secure fit in the hole after installation and simultaneously protects the cable from mechanical damage. The gland is not self-cutting and must be inserted into a pre-drilled opening.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use in standard installations, particularly in panels, enclosures and housings with holes of the specified diameters (10, 12, 16 mm). The gland is not specifically designed for particular brands or systems, but is conceived as a universal component for cable routing. There are no specific accessories associated with this gland, as it is used as a single component. Installation requires no additional tools or mounting aids.

Installation and mounting is carried out by simply inserting the gland into the pre-drilled hole. The elastic shape ensures the gland adapts to the hole and creates a tight fit. The cable is then routed through the gland, with the elastic structure of the material protecting the cable and minimizing mechanical stress. Installation is quick and does not require special skills.

Operational advantages include easy handling, high flexibility and long service life. The gland ensures tight and secure cable routing, reducing the risk of mechanical damage or environmental influences. The use of TPE provides high resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, dust and minor temperature fluctuations. The pack of 100 pieces enables economical use in larger installations.

The gland is available in black, which facilitates visual integration into technical environments. The weight specification of 0.64 g per piece is technically relevant, as it affects transportation and storage properties, but is not directly relevant to the user during operation. The packaging weight of 0.064 kg refers to the total packaging containing 100 pieces.
