Basic concept of industrial cable entries

Industrial cable entries are mechanical devices designed to secure, protect and seal the passage of electrical or data cables through panels, boxes or structures in industrial environments. Its main function is to guarantee the integrity of the electrical system by preventing the entry of dust, water, and other contaminants, in addition to protecting the cables against mechanical stress and vibrations.

These inputs are essential in industrial facilities, where environmental conditions are demanding and require robust components that ensure the safety and correct functioning of electrical systems. Its design also allows maintaining the continuity of the insulation and protection characteristics of the cables within hostile environments.

Cable entries with cable glands

Gland cable entries are one of the most common types used in the industry. They are composed of a threaded body and a nut that, when tightened, compresses a gasket or sleeve that firmly holds the cable. This provides a tight seal that keeps out water, dust and other contaminants.

This type of inlets is especially useful in applications where high mechanical resistance and good sealing are required in environments with the presence of liquids or dusts. In addition, they allow vibrations to be absorbed and avoid damage due to traction or movements of the cable.

Depending on the model, they can handle different cable diameters and pressures, so they adapt to a wide variety of industrial needs.

Flange type cable entries

Flange type cable entries are used to secure cables through panels or walls using a plate or ring that is screwed or clamped to the surface. These flanges can be designed with rubber or elastomeric seals to provide protection against moisture and dust.

This system is ideal for applications where robust fixing and easy maintenance or disassembly are required. They are common in electrical panels and telecommunications racks.
