FAQs

What is the primary function of this gland plate?

The Rittal SZ 2564.300 gland plate is designed to provide a sealed entry point for multiple cables into Rittal AX enclosures, ensuring protection against environmental factors like dust and water.

How many cables can this gland plate accommodate?

This gland plate features 91 pierceable membranes, allowing for the entry of up to 91 individual cables, depending on their diameter.

Is this gland plate suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with an IP 66 rating, it provides protection against dust and powerful water jets, making it suitable for many outdoor applications when installed correctly on a compatible enclosure.

What material is the gland plate made of?

The gland plate is constructed from plastic, offering a lightweight yet durable solution for cable management.

What type of thread does this gland plate use?

It utilizes a PG thread type, which is a standard for cable glands and conduits in many industrial applications.

How do I install cables through the plate?

You insert cables by piercing the plastic membranes with a sharp object and then pulling the cable through the opening.

What is the color of the gland plate?

The gland plate is light grey, with a color code of RAL 7035, to match standard enclosure aesthetics.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty piercing the membrane

Use a sharp, dedicated tool. Ensure the tool is correctly aligned with the membrane center. Apply firm, steady pressure.

Gland plate does not seal properly

Verify that the gland plate is correctly and securely mounted to the enclosure. Ensure cables are centered within the pierced membrane openings and that no debris is obstructing the seal.

Water ingress despite IP 66 rating

Inspect all cable entries for damage or improper sealing. Check the gland plate mounting gasket for integrity. Ensure the enclosure door seals are also in good condition.

Limited space for cables

While the plate offers 91 entry points, consider cable diameter. For very large cables, fewer may fit. Plan cable routing efficiently.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Accommodates a large number of cables (91 entries).
  • Provides excellent environmental protection (IP 66).
  • Designed for easy and quick cable insertion.
  • Lightweight and easy to handle during installation.
  • Color-matched for Rittal AX enclosures.

Cons

  • Plastic material may not be suitable for extreme impact or high temperatures.

  • PG thread size might limit compatibility with certain non-standard fittings.
  • Weight, while low, is distributed across a large surface area, requiring secure mounting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the Rittal AX enclosure is prepared for gland plate installation.
  2. Align the gland plate (MPN: 2564300) with the designated mounting area on the enclosure.
  3. Secure the gland plate using the provided mounting hardware (typically screws or clips, consult enclosure manual).
  4. To insert cables, pierce the appropriate plastic membrane with a sharp, pointed object (e.g., a knife or awl). Gently pull the cable through.
  5. For optimal sealing, ensure membranes fit snugly around the inserted cables.

Compatibility:

  • Primary Compatibility: Rittal AX enclosures.
  • Thread Type: PG thread for compatible fittings and conduits.

Care:

  • Clean the gland plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
