Four ways to pass cables through a wall
- Cable gland
A gland seals or retains a cable at a single entry. Match the cable, mounting interface and declared functions.
- Cable entry device
The entire entry assembly includes its mounting, seal and support parts. Assess the complete installed combination.
- Cable penetrator
A penetrator forms a specified sealed feed-through. Its pressure boundary and conductor interface need their own evidence.
- Modular cable transitThis term
Separate modules fit cables within a common frame. Check module sizes, compression, spare openings and the complete transit approval.
Compare a round gland, a complete entry assembly, a sealed penetrator and a modular transit. Each construction controls a different interface at the enclosure wall.
Conceptual entry sections. These alternatives have different retention, serviceability and sealing duties; an illustrated shape does not specify an ingress or pressure rating.
