FAQs

What adhesive should I use to install the Kenable cable entry plate?

It is recommended to use a strong, exterior-grade adhesive such as a silicone sealant or a construction adhesive designed for outdoor use. Ensure the product is suitable for your wall material.

Can this be used for mains power cables?

Yes, it can be used for power cables, provided that all electrical safety regulations are followed. Ensure connections are made safely indoors and that the cable itself is suitable for external use if exposed.

What are the exact dimensions of the cable exit hole?

The cable exit has an approximate aperture of 25mm, suitable for routing individual or multiple smaller cables. The overall cavity depth is 30mm.

How many cables can fit through the plate?

The plate can accommodate multiple cables depending on their thickness. The 30mm depth allows for bundling several networking or smaller power cables.

Does the product come with adhesive?

The product typically does not include adhesive; it is sold as the cover plate itself. You will need to purchase a suitable exterior-grade adhesive separately.

Is this suitable for painted brickwork?

Yes, it can be installed on painted brickwork. Ensure the paint surface is sound and clean before applying adhesive for a secure bond.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information for the specific warranty period applicable to this Kenable product.

Troubleshooting

Plate not adhering securely to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality exterior-grade adhesive recommended for your wall type. Allow adequate curing time.

Water ingress despite plate installation.

The adhesive seal may be compromised. Inspect the edges of the plate for gaps. Reapply exterior-grade sealant around the entire perimeter of the plate to create a proper weatherproof barrier.

Difficulty fitting multiple cables through the exit.

Ensure cables are arranged neatly. While the cavity is generous, extremely thick or numerous cables may require careful routing. Consider using thinner gauge cables if possible, or splitting connections if feasible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Prepare the Area: Ensure the external wall surface around the cable hole is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris.
Prepare the Plate: If required, apply a suitable exterior-grade adhesive (e.g., silicone sealant, construction adhesive) around the inner rim of the plate that will contact the wall.
Position the Plate: Carefully align the plate over the cable entry hole, ensuring cables pass through the designated exit.
Secure the Plate: Press the plate firmly against the wall to create a secure bond and a weatherproof seal. Allow the adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Cable Management: Once the adhesive is cured, ensure cables are fed through the plate and secured internally and externally as needed.

Compatibility:

Cable Types: Suitable for power cables, networking cables (Ethernet), satellite cables (coaxial), aerial leads, and other similar low-voltage or signal cables.
Wall Types: Designed for use on brickwork and similar external wall surfaces.
Dimensions: Fits standard brick-sized holes. The plate dimensions are 110 x 110 x 33mm (H x W x D), with a cavity depth of 30mm and a cable exit aperture of approximately 25mm.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Maintenance: Periodically check the seal around the plate to ensure it remains weatherproof. Reapply adhesive if any signs of degradation or gaps are detected.
