SKINTOP® cable glands

Skintop

The ideal protection for cables in any environment

Cable glands make it possible to insert cables into an enclosure, securely seal both the cable and the enclosure and provide strain relief for the cable. They also protect the inside of the enclosure from harmful environmental influences such as dust and moisture. Our product range includes single entries for individual cables, multiple entries for several cables as well as accessories and tools for installing the cable glands. Even the best cable in the world needs a SKINTOP® for protection.

When a cable is installed in an industrial system - whether via a motor, control cabinet or junction box - all of these devices are equipped with pre-drilled holes through which this cable must be inserted and connected.

Without cable glands

  • dirt, dust and water can get inside the system, which can damage the devices.
  • the cable can be damaged by the sharp edges of the hole and lead to failure.
  • the cable can be accidentally pulled out, causing a disruption in the power or data supply and affecting the functionality of the connected machine.

Advantages of SKINTOP®

  • Secure connection: cables are fixed, centred and hermetically sealed.
  • Maximum sealing against environmental influences such as dust, dirt and water
  • Optimum strain relief: thanks to the internal clamping mechanism, which secures and centres the cable and prevents it from being pulled out, even during heavy movement in the application.
  • Durable vibration protection: intensively tested for the toughest applications
  • Quick and easy installation: insert the cable, twist it shut, done!
  • High functional reliability even under harsh environmental conditions
  • High resistance to oil, UV, ozone
  • Wide range of approvals (UL/UR, CSA, VDE, DNV, ATEX, ECOLAB, EHEDG, and many more)
  • High degree of protection (IP66, IP68, IP69)
  • Extensive range of accessories (e.g. SKINTOP® BRUSH ADD-ON)
  • RoHS / REACH complian
