How to use the Multiple Hole Cable Gland
In many industrial, when you try to inserted several cables through one enclosure,
but there have no enough space for it – by nature, each cables would need a cable gland.
In fact, there is a smarter way of sealing Multipleple cables than using a cable gland for each and every cable, you can use Multiple Hole Cable Gland to provide Multipleple entry solution.
The parts of Multiple Hole Cable Gland
Use seal with appropriate number of holes as required.
The advantage of Multiple Hole Cable Gland
Multiple Hole Cable Gland allow several cables to be fed through one hole into a housing, not only can significantly reduce construction time and reduce costs, but also reduce the space occupied by the outlet hole.
Multiple Hole Cable Gland is use for 2-8 core cables, to make sure each wire to get the best waterproof insulation, and not intertwined. Holes not needed can be closed with blind plugs in red colour making them easily identifiable
Choosing the suitable Multiple Hole Cable Gland, roate the part tightly and use the O-ring can reach IP68.
Installation Guide of Multiple Hole Cable Gland
Before installing the Multiple Hole Cable Gland:
1.Turn off all electrical equipment and disconnect any live wires
2.Be careful not to damage the wires during installation
3.Ensure the Multiple Hole Cable Gland is compatible with the cables
Installation:
1.Begin by opening the Multiple Hole Cable Gland and detaching the nut
2.Screw the gland body with O-ring into the corresponding thread hole on gland plate.
3.Insert cable to gland body. Adjust sealing nut, claw and seal to correct position.
4.Adjust the cable to make sure the each cable passed the holes in the seal. Manually tighten the sealing nut for temporary fixing.
5.Use a spanner to tighten each gland part until the cable is securely fastened. Double check the cable connection and the position if necessary.

Condensate is generally produced when the temperature changes.
Such as the equipment is in operation or the heat during the daytime, the temperature and pressure in the box will increase.
If the air in the enclosure cools down and there is no pressure equalization, condensation will form, which can no longer escape and cause losing of IP feature of the products.
The perfect solution is to use Breathable Cable Gland or Ventilation Vent Plug.
How Breathable Cable Gland or Ventilation Vent Plug work?
There have porous membrane is inside Breathable Cable Gland and Air Vent Plug,
the water and dust cannot ingress the membrane, but it can ensures the circulation of air while maintaining the tightness.
What’s more, the Breathable Cable Gland and Ventilation Vent Plug are designed for one-way air flow that allows heat and pressure to exit the box but prevents moisture from coming back in.
Features of Breathable Cable Gland and Ventilation Vent Plug from Jixiang Connector :
- Easy to assemble
- Reliable, secure connections and seals
- Highest level of protection(IP68) against dirt, dust, corrosion, oil, grease, liquids, moisture, and gases
You will get:
- Minimized condensation and prolong the equipment’s service life
- No need expensive ventilation systems
- The omission of expensive maintenance and reinstallations
The application Industry of Breathable Cable Gland and Ventilation Vent Plug:
Electric and electronic enclosures,lighting manufacturers,renewable energies (solar and wind), automotive industry and railways.
Believe you have seen the necessity of the Breathable Cable Gland and Ventilation Vent Plug.

It’s necessary to know what is an IP rating mean before select correct Metal Cable Glands.
The IP (Ingress Protection) Rating of a Metal Cable Glands indicates whether a product can withstand water or dust penetration.
And the rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits, The first number denotes foreign body ingress protection, the second moisture.
The higher the number the better the protection.Sometimes a number is replaced by X, which indicates that the enclosure is not rated for that specification.
In general ,you can refers to the level of sealing effectiveness as defined in IEC 60529 (Formerly BS EN 60529:1992) to check the IP rating of Metal Cable Glands.
The most common IP rating are probably 65,66,67 and 68 in Metal Cable Glands.
These are defined below for your quick reference.
When used in a nautical environment, a Marine Cable Gland is wrapped around the shaft of the boat's propeller.
Since most boat propellers are submerged in water, liquids can easily cause propeller failure without a Marine Cable Gland, which is why a marine cable gland is required.
For steam engines, Marine Cable Gland is strategically placed within the piston area.
The main purpose of a steam case is to prevent cylinder steam from leaking into the engine.
Since steam engines produce large amounts of steam, this type of prevention is not possible without proper sealants. If steam enters the engine area, the engine may stop working.
Like the marine case, the steam engine Marine Cable Gland allows the engine to work without the risk of water or steam damage.
In addition, Marine Cable Gland have been widely used in shipbuilding, power distribution cabinet manufacturers, rolling stock, bridges, electric power and communications and many other industries.
These have some tips as below, when you choosing a Marine Cable Gland:
1. Checking whether the Marine Cable Gland is flat and smooth. The edges should be free of sharp corners, burrs, cracks and nicks.
2. The surface of the Marine Cable Gland should be galvanized and passivated.
3. There shall be no slippage or looseness when the Marine Cable Gland is tightened.
4. Pay attention to the protection level of the Marine Cable Gland.
