⚠️
Critical Sizing Rule: Cable must be 80% of hole size with max 1mm (0.04") difference to achieve NEMA 4X/IP65 rating. Improper sizing voids waterproof protection!

1Understanding Multi-Hole Cord Grips

Sealcon multi-hole cord grips are engineered strain relief solutions for securing multiple smaller cables in a single fitting. These versatile cable glands feature interchangeable elastomer inserts that can accommodate 1-10 cables simultaneously.

2Sizing & Selection Guide

Thread Type Available Sizes Max Cables Best Applications
Metric M12 - M63 1-10 European equipment
NPT 1/4" - 1-1/2" 1-10 North American standard
PG PG7 - PG48 1-10 German DIN standard
💡 Pro Tip: Always verify thread compatibility with your enclosure before ordering. Mixing thread types requires adapters.

3Installation Process

🔧 Required for Solid Inserts: drill bits, freezer access
  1. Select appropriate insert: Choose pre-drilled or solid plug insert based on cable count
  2. For solid inserts: Freeze insert for 2+ hours, then drill while fitted to prevent splitting
  3. Insert cables: Ensure 80% fill ratio for proper sealing
  4. Tighten dome nut: Compress insert until snug (don't over-tighten)

4Insert Customization Options

Sealcon offers three insert configurations:

  • Pre-drilled inserts: Standard hole patterns (1-10 holes)
  • Solid plug inserts: Custom drilling for exact cable sizes
  • Special materials: Silicone or Viton inserts available by request
🎯 Swap Strategy: Keep existing cable glands and simply change inserts for different cable configurations. Most inserts sold separately.
