New split cable gland
25 February 2020
Cheshire-based M.Buttkereit has expanded its range of cable entry systems with the introduction of the DES-CLICK split cable gland, which is available in three metric thread sizes, M20, M25 and M32, with ingress protection offered to IP54.
The system allows cables with pre-wired connectors or moulded plugs to be sealed and secured without the need for cutting and re-wiring. The gland is a combination of a poly-carbonate outer shell and an elastomer cable retaining insert. Assembly of the DES-CLICK is simple, the insert is fitted around the cable and then mounted within the shell. The two halves of the shell then click together to close the unit. The process is completely tool free and ingress protection is offered to IP54.
The cable inserts are available for cables with an outer diameter of 2mm up to 16mm It is also possible to have two or four entry holes allowing multiple cables to be fitted within a single gland, saving installation time and space.
The DES-CLICK is operable in temperatures from -40 to +155˚C with a flammability rating of UL94-VO. It is available in black or light grey and all the glands are supplied with locknuts as standard. The cable inserts are the same as used throughout the DES cable entry system.
