This guide is for installers and technicians working with electrical cabling in automation, control systems, lighting, power, data, and telecoms. The Kenable M16 Cable Gland offers a key benefit of providing a secure, weatherproof (IP68) seal for cable entries, protecting against environmental factors. A potential caveat to note is that these glands are designed specifically for round cables.

An IP68 rating signifies that the cable gland is dust-tight and protected against continuous immersion in water under pressure, making it highly suitable for outdoor and harsh environmental applications.
No, these Kenable cable glands are specifically designed for round cables only.
The glands are manufactured from Nylon 66, which is a durable and UL-rated material.
The cable glands are designed to operate within a temperature range of -30°C to 80°C.
This product is supplied in a convenient pack of 10 cable glands.
M16 refers to the metric thread size of the gland, which corresponds to a 16mm diameter mounting hole.
Ensure the cable diameter is within the 5-10mm range. Check that the neoprene seal is correctly seated and free of debris. Tighten the locking nut firmly but avoid overtightening, which could damage the seal.
Verify the cable diameter is within the specified 5-10mm range. If the cable is too large, a different gland size will be required. Ensure the cable is round and not ovalized.
Confirm that the mounting hole in the enclosure is the correct 16mm diameter. Ensure the washer is properly positioned between the gland and the enclosure surface. Tighten the locking nut again, applying firm, even pressure.
Setup: To install, first select the appropriate gland size for your cable (5-10mm diameter). Drill a 16mm diameter hole in your enclosure or panel. Insert the cable through the gland body. Thread the gland into the pre-drilled hole, ensuring the washer is in place for a good seal. Tighten the locking nut to secure the gland and compress the neoprene seal around the cable, creating the weatherproof seal.
Compatibility: This M16 gland is designed for use with round electrical cables. It is compatible with enclosures and panels that have a 16mm diameter mounting hole. The Nylon 66 material is suitable for a wide range of general-purpose applications.
Care: To maintain the IP68 seal, periodically check that the locking nut is secure and that the neoprene seal is free from damage or debris. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the Nylon or neoprene.
