FAQ - Frequently asked questions about cable entry systems for cables with connectors
When should you choose a cable entry system for cables with a connector?
Cable entry systems are the right choice when many connected cables are to be routed through the same opening or when the installation needs to be flexible over time.
They are often used in automation cabinets, machines and control systems where the wiring is changed or expanded in stages.
Common uses:
- multiple connected cables in the same bushing
- Retrofitting in existing control cabinets
- need for simple service and re-tightening
- limited installation space
When is this solution not the right choice?
Cable entry systems are not always the best solution when each cable requires individual strain relief or when only single cables are to be inserted.
Avoid system solution when:
- maximum strain relief required per cable
- standard cable gland is sufficient
Options in these cases:
Do the connectors have to be dismantled during assembly?
No. Cable entry systems for cables with connectors are designed for installation around existing cables without the need to dismantle the connectors.
This makes them particularly suitable for retrofitting or when cables cannot be disassembled without affecting function or warranty.
Can cable entry systems withstand IP-rated environments?
Yes, many cable entry systems are adapted for IP-rated environments.
The achieved protection class depends on the system design, sealing inserts and correct assembly in the enclosure. To maintain the IP class, all penetrations must be assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions.
When are systems better than individual cable glands?
System solutions are better when multiple cables with connectors are to be inserted through the same opening or when the installation needs to be flexible over time.
They are particularly well suited for applications where cabling may need to be changed, expanded or serviced without dismantling existing cables.
