The Plioprene 12-1466 TPE cable protectors from Ses-Sterling are specifically designed for protecting cables and lines during passage through wall or ceiling openings. Made from TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), they offer a flexible yet robust covering that absorbs mechanical stresses such as bending and compressive forces. The protectors are black in colour and are particularly suitable for installations in electrical engineering, where permanent protection against kinking damage and mechanical stress is required. The term
Plioprene is used in the product context to denote the specific material quality suitable for the application.
Applications
These cable protectors are used in industrial electrical installations, machine building, and building and plant cabling. They are intended to protect cables during passage through openings in components from mechanical damage, especially when cables are moved or bent. The protectors are designed for indoor use, with the TPE material providing high flexibility and resistance to UV radiation and aging. They are typically used in conjunction with cable entry plates, where permanent protection against kinking damage is required.
Functions and Features in Detail
The protectors are supplied as individual units and allow for easy installation by simply inserting the cable into the opening. The TPE material is characterised by high elasticity and resistance to mechanical stress. The black colour is standard and meets common requirements in electrical installations. The protectors are not equipped with additional fastening elements or locking mechanisms, but function solely through elastic insertion into the opening. The packaging unit contains 100 pieces, suitable for larger installations or series mounting.
Technical Explanation
TPE, the material used, is a thermoplastic elastomer that combines the properties of rubber with the processability of plastics. It is flexible, resistant to mechanical stress, and offers a long service life. The term
cable protectors describes the primary function: protecting cables from bending and kinking damage that can occur due to repeated movement or pressure. The protectors are not specified for use in damp or wet environments, as no IP rating or waterproofing is indicated. The standard black colour meets requirements for discreet, functional installation components.
Compatibility and Accessories
The cable protectors are designed for use with cables and lines in electrical installations. They are typically used in conjunction with cable entry plates, wall penetrations, or ceiling openings. Their use is independent of other components, with the protectors solely providing mechanical protection.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the cable into the tip of the protector and then passing it through the opening in the component. The elastic structure of the TPE material ensures that the protector tip adapts to the cable shape and provides secure guidance. No additional tools or fastening elements are required. Installation is typically performed without additional aids, with the elastic shape of the material ensuring a precise fit.
Operational Advantages
The use of these cable protectors reduces the risk of cable damage due to mechanical stress, especially from repeated bending or pressure. The TPE material quality ensures long service life and resistance to aging and UV radiation. The simple installation without tools or additional fastening elements reduces installation time and labour effort. The standard black colour integrates well into most installation scenarios and meets requirements for discreet, functional components. The packaging unit of 100 pieces is suitable for larger projects or series installations, increasing cost-efficiency.
