Protection Tabs for Glands Awaiting Cable Connection

It is often sensible to mount glands long before the cable gets connected. Protection tabs from AP Technology keep moisture and dust from getting in through those open glands during shipping, storage or the wait for installation on site. They are very helpful for machine builders shipping equipment and for contractors working through a long build programme. Available in grey, light grey and black, they keep the inside of the enclosure clean until the final cable is ready to go in. Blind stops are polyamide 6 closures for unused threads, keeping dust, dirt and foreign objects out of the housing. They come in circular or hexagonal types with Pg or metric threads. Protection tabs fit within a mounted gland to stop moisture or dust getting in when the cable connection will be made later. Both are available in grey, light grey and black. A gland wrench is also offered. Special seals convert the cable entry of a gland so that it can work with multiple cables or flat cable. They are manufactured from NBR or silicone.

Flat cable seals run from Pg21 to Pg48 and M25 to M63. Multi hole seals offer from 2 up to 8 entries, depending on gland size, across Pg9 to Pg29 and M12 to M32, with other options on request. A team of technical sales engineers can help with design, sourcing, manufacture and delivery.
