Roxtec vs. cable glands
There are five main reasons for choosing Roxtec cable seals as cable gland and cord grip substitutes.
1. The area efficient cable gland alternative
By using a Roxtec cable entry device as cable gland alternative or cable connector substitute, you drastically reduce the need for punching openings in your cabinets and enclosures. Use one hole for 32 cables in a Roxtec transit instead of drilling 32 holes and installing 32 cable glands. With Roxtec seals as cable gland replacement, you will be able to use smaller cabinets and enclosures. This will help you save space for your vital electrical equipment and avoid unnecessary costs.
2. The light cable gland replacement
Cable glands, strain-reliefs and similar fittings can be made of simple plastic materials, but they are often made of metallic materials such as steel, brass or aluminum to be able to provide the required functionality. The problem, however, is that the weight of the terminal or junction boxes increases too much with the number of cable glands. By replacing all the cable glands with one or a couple of Roxtec cable seals, you can easily get rid of 50 percent of the overall weight.
3. The easy cable gland substitute
Traditional cable glands do not allow you to route pre-terminated cables. This extends the installation time and increases the risk of human errors during the process. However, the perfect cable gland alternative, the flexible Roxtec cable seal, has large openings that make it very safe and simple for installers to pull the cables through – with their connectors. Use Roxtec seals as cable gland substitutes and experience a workday without cutting and reattaching connectors.
4. The neat cable gland alternative
Roxtec mechanical cable transit devices consist of very few components – especially if you compare to traditional cable glands, strain-reliefs and cord grips. Use Roxtec cable seals as cable gland substitute to obtain certified environmental sealing as well as efficient bonding and grounding of armored and shielded cables. You meet all demands without having to buy, bring and handle hundreds of small metallic components in narrow areas onsite or out in the field.
5. The quick cable gland substitute
Saving time is probably the most convincing aspect when it comes to deciding to use Roxtec seals as cable gland alternative. Since you do not have to punch or drill holes or even cut and reattach any connectors, you gain a lot of time. Add the amazing fact that you can route and seal all cables in one opening if you use Roxtec seals as cable gland replacement – instead of one by one in dozens of openings. You will very soon realize that you can cut installation time by half.
