The DK-TPE 12/18/22-3 cable glands from Ses-Sterling are rubber glands made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), specifically designed for use in the electrical and installation industry. They serve as cable protection and conduit protection when routing cables through wall or ceiling openings, particularly in areas where a flexible yet stable seal is required. The glands are available in the colour black and are supplied in a pack of 100 pieces. The product designation Plioprene DK-TPE 12/18/22-3 refers to the specific version with three different diameters (12, 18 and 22 mm), suitable for various cable cross-sections.

Applications
These cable glands are suitable for use in electrical installations, particularly for routing cables through building elements such as walls, ceilings or enclosures. They provide a secure and tight transition that protects against mechanical stress and environmental influences such as dust or moisture. Due to their elastic properties from TPE, they can adapt to different cable diameters, ensuring a firm but not overly tight fit. The glands are intended for indoor use, with the material offering a certain resistance to mechanical stress and chemical influences.

Functions and Features in Detail
The rubber glands made of TPE are characterised by high flexibility and elasticity, enabling easy installation and adaptation to different cable diameters. The three available diameters (12, 18 and 22 mm) allow adaptation to various cable sizes, making the glands universally applicable. The black colour is typical for installation components and ensures discreet integration into technical systems. The glands are designed as throughgoing, meaning they are continuous along their entire length and do not require additional connection points or fittings.

Technology Explained Simply
TPE stands for Thermoplastic Elastomer, a plastic material that combines the properties of rubber with the processability of thermoplastics. This material is particularly suitable for cable protection applications, as it can be elastically deformed without losing its shape stability. The glands are thus able to adapt to the shape of the cable being passed through and ensure a tight, yet non-damaging fit. The material selection also provides a certain resistance to mechanical stress and environmental influences, extending the service life of the glands.

Compatibility and Accessories
The DK-TPE 12/18/22-3 glands are designed for use with cables of various diameters, with the three available sizes (12, 18, 22 mm) offering broad application possibilities. They are suitable for standard cables in electrical installations and can be used in combination with other installation components such as cable protection conduits, enclosures or wall penetrations. The glands are not specifically designed for any particular cable type, but adapt flexibly to the respective cable size.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the gland into the appropriate opening and passing the cable through the interior of the gland. Due to the elastic properties of the TPE material, the gland automatically adapts to the cable diameter and forms a tight seal. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The glands are designed to hold securely in the opening without additional fastening elements, ensuring a safe passage.

Operational Advantages
The cable glands made of TPE provide a reliable and tight seal that protects against mechanical stress and environmental influences. The elastic material properties ensure easy installation and a secure fit for different cable diameters. The glands are durable and resistant, increasing maintenance-free operation and operational safety. The pack of 100 pieces enables economical use in larger installations.
