Cable entry systems
for safe and flexible cable entry into cabinets
Cable entries are used to introduce cables into cabinets and enclosures without impairing sealing, EMC properties or serviceability.
Choosing the right cable entrie depends on the cable type, installation requirements and whether the installation can be changed or supplemented over time.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about cable entry systems
When are cable entries used?
Cable entries are used when multiple cables are to be inserted through a common opening or when pre-terminated cables cannot be pulled through traditional cable glands.
They are common in control cabinets where flexibility, retrofitting or sealing around multiple cables is important.
When are cable glands not the right choice?
Cable entries are not always the right solution when each cable requires individual strain relief or where very high mechanical demands are placed on each cable entry.
Avoid cable penetrations when:
- each cable should be sealed separately
- the installation is exposed to heavy tensile loads
- standard cable gland is sufficient and easier
Options in these cases:
When is a cable entry better than cable gland?
Cable entries is better when multiple cables are to be inserted through the same opening or when cables have pre-assembled connectors that cannot be disassembled.
It is also suitable when the installation needs to be changed or supplemented without having to re-route the entire wiring.
Can cable entries withstand IP-rated environments?
Yes, many cable entries are designed to withstand IP-rated environments.
The enclosure class achieved depends on the design of the bushing, sealing and correct installation in the enclosure.
Can cable entries be used for retrofitting?
Yes, cable entries are often used in retrofit applications.
They make it possible to run new cables into existing electrical cabinets without dismantling connectors or making extensive interventions in the installation.
