The KES-E-R cable entry system works for cables and wires without connectors and can be fitted in standard metric housing openings without tools. T
The distinct dodecagonal design admits conductors with diameters from 1 to 22.5 mm (0.04 to 0.9 in.) to be inserted into metric cut-outs in a very small space. All it takes is piercing the selected diaphragm at the marked centering point with a screwdriver and feeding the conductor through. Once pierced, diaphragms can be sealed with a blind plug if necessary.
Made of halogen and silicone-free TPE, the cable entries ensure tight sealing and IP54 protection. The design avoids cavities where dirt can collect and offers a high packing density.
KES-E-R is available in 32 variants and two type ranges for different wall thicknesses from 1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.06 to 0.1 in.) (type A) and from 2.5 to 4 mm (0.1 to 0.15 in.) (type B).
The ambient temperature range is -40 to 194°F (-40 to 90°C) (static), and the cable entries are certified non-flammable according to UL 94 V-0.

The new KES series of gland plates enables the quick and safe introduction of cables and tubes without connectors into cabinets and machine housings. KES plates provide IP66 ingress protection with no need to specially fit and secure cables with screws.
The polyamide frames filled with elastomer are placed on the outside of the cabinet or housing wall and fixed with screws onto 36 x 112 mm (1.4 x 4 in.) openings. The plates feature a low-profile height of only 14 mm (0.5 in.). For a tool-less installation, they can also be snapped on. In this case, the screw holes remain completely sealed thanks to the layer of elastomer.
To insert cables, the outer membrane of the gland plate is pierced with a pointed tool at a designated entry point. The wires are then simply pushed through. Aside from the punctured membrane, the conical entry grommets on the back of the plate provide an extra double sealing of the cables with IP 66 ingress protection as well as reliable strain relief. This new concept accommodates up to 32 cables per plate, achieving a much higher packing density than conventional screw-fitted cable entry solutions.
CONTA-CLIP is launching the KES plates in 24 variants designed for different maximum numbers of lines and cable diameters. The elastic cable guides are suitable for cables or pneumatic lines with diameters ranging from 3.2 to 20.5 mm (0.1 to 0.8 in.).
The cable entry system's IP66 ingress protection enables use in harsh environments. KES also features smooth surfaces, rounded corners, and ECOLAB-certified resistance to industrial cleaning products, and therefore provides all necessary hygienic properties for use in the food industry or in pharmaceutical production.
