Conta-Clip takes an outsider approach to cable entry
Designed for installation installed from the outside of a control cabinet, enclosure or machine, the KDSI-SR cable entry system has been announced by Conta-Clip. The inverse and modular cable entry system provides reliable sealing, flexibility while saving time, said the company, for cables with and without plugs.
The system is part of Conta-Clip’s KDS Click cable management range. The KDSI-SR system is based on the modular design and simple assembly concept of the KDS design. It features an inverse tapered design of the screw-on frame’s opening and includes an additional two-part cover with TPE seals in three levels. This ensures a tight fit of the sealing elements, which are available for one, two or four cables or as blanking plugs.
The sealing elements with serrated edges and a tapered design provide IP66 ingress protection and reliable static strain relief in compliance to DIN EN 62444. They also allow for high packing density in comparison to cable glands. The halogen- and silicone-free KDSI-SR cable entry system is suitable for ambient temperatures from -40 to +120 degrees C. KDSI-SR frames are available for four, six, eight or 10 sealing elements in configurations to match the number and diameters of cables.
The KDSI-SR system allows for comfortable, flexible reconfiguration of existing installations at any point in time, said Conta-Clip. The components can be easily removed, exchanged and reassembled. The component parts can be separated and individually sealed for customised cable management. Cables with plugs do not have to be disassembled and reconnected for retrofits or servicing, which means the manufacturer’s warranty is retained, said Conta-Clip.
