Cable entry seals are efficient at maximizing the protective properties of heat shrink for a specific application. Today, we are going to talk about a brief history of the introduction of cable entry seals. Next, we’ll cover an overview of the different types of cable entry seals. Finally, we’ll feature why choosing a flanged cable entry seal may be the right fit for your cable management needs.
The history behind cable entry seals…
Starting in the 1950’s, machines were getting more complex as they were wired with commercial-grade industrial connectors. Due to cost pressure, engineers searched for a more cost-efficient alternative to decrease the chance of miswiring. The solution was introduced in the 1990s with the efficient development of cable entry systems.
Finding the right cable entry seal for your application…
There are four types of cable entry seals to choose from:
• Single Entry Seals
• Multi-Entry Seals
• Right Angle Entry Seals
• Flanged Entry Seals
Whether you choose one of the first three types of cable entry seals depends on how many wires you have and if you need it to fit a particular shape.
However, the flanged cable entry seals (also known as flush cable wall seals) are unique as they give you the same protection as a traditional cable entry seal with one major advantage. With the flush mount design, this eliminates the need to determine the thickness of your wall, electrical enclosure, or panel.
These are available in a number of sizes or they can be custom designed to fit your exact application. Just fasten these seals directly to any surface and apply heat to the rugged adhesive lined heat shrink boot and get IP68 protection.
As you can see, cable entry seals are an efficient way to tackle your cable and wiring needs, and they are available in several different types to help you achieve the perfect seal that you are seeking.
