Colour	Black

The Helavia 15-696 protective caps from Ses-Sterling are made of polychloroprene rubber and serve as rubber ferrules for secure and tight shielding of cables and lines at installation switches, sockets, or other electrical components. The black version blends optically into standard electrical installations and provides robust protection against mechanical damage and environmental influences. The caps are intended for indoor use and are particularly suitable for protecting cables installed in wall or ceiling installations.

Applications
The Helavia 15-696 protective caps are used in electrical installations to protect cable ends from contamination, moisture, and mechanical pressure. They are especially suitable for use at sockets, switches, and other electrical components where cables are introduced into walls or ceilings. The caps prevent dust, moisture, or foreign objects from entering the installation, thereby increasing the service life of the installation and improving safety. Typical applications include residential and commercial buildings as well as technical systems where proper cable routing and shielding are required.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The protective caps are made of a flexible, elastic material that adapts to the shape of the cable and ensures a tight seal. The rubber ferrules are designed to securely enclose the cable while allowing easy installation. The black color is standard and fits into most installation scenarios. The caps are not intended for outdoor use, as no specific weather resistance or protection class such as IP67 is specified. The packaging contains 50 pieces, enabling economical handling for larger installations.

Technology Explained Simply
The Helavia 15-696 protective caps are made of polychloroprene rubber, a synthetic elastomer known for its high flexibility, resistance to aging and chemical influences, and mechanical strength. This material allows for a tight fit around the cable, ensuring effective protection against environmental influences. The caps are not self-sealing and must be manually slipped onto the cable. The elastic structure ensures the cable is securely held without causing damage. Installation requires no additional tools or adhesives.

Compatibility and Accessories
The Helavia 15-696 protective caps are designed for use with cables in standard installations. They are not specifically intended for particular cable types or diameters, but adapt to various cable diameters due to their elastic structure. The caps are not combined with other manufacturer products such as cable glands or cable clamps, but serve as an independent protective component. No specific accessories are required for use.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting the protective caps is done by simply slipping them onto the cable end before inserting it into the installation (e.g., into a socket or switch). The elastic structure of the material ensures the cap adapts to the cable and provides a tight seal. No special tools or mounting aids are required. Installation is performed without additional fastening elements, as the cap holds the cable securely by its shape and elasticity.

Operational Advantages
Using the Helavia 15-696 protective caps increases the safety of the electrical installation by preventing moisture, dust, or foreign objects from entering. The caps extend the service life of the installation by preventing mechanical damage to the cables. The simple installation and economical packaging size (50 pieces) facilitate use in larger projects. The black color ensures unobtrusive integration into the installation without causing visual disturbances.

Scope of Delivery
The packaging contains 50 pieces of the Helavia 15-696 protective caps. The caps are to be understood as individual products and require no additional mounting aids.
