Jacob Cable inlet

Jacob cable glands and entry systems for practical installations

When you look at a control cabinet, it’s easy to overlook how the cables enter the housing. But anyone who has built or serviced panels knows — that’s where trouble starts if it’s done poorly. The Jacob cable inlet line exists to stop that from happening. It keeps out dust, moisture, and oil, while still letting cables sit firmly in place without twisting or cutting the insulation.

The range includes the familiar Jacob cable glands made from polyamide, which are light, corrosion-free, and simple to tighten by hand. For heavy-duty work, there are nickel-plated brass glands — these survive vibration, heat, and constant cleaning. In food or chemical environments, installers often use stainless-steel versions. The threads fit both metric and PG standards, so you can replace old parts without re-drilling. Everything about them feels well-machined: the nut grips properly, the seal doesn’t stick, and the compression happens evenly.

Jacob cable entry systems and sealing glands

For larger cabinets or machines where dozens of wires go through one wall, Jacob cable entry systems make the job faster and cleaner. The inserts are flexible, so cables can be pushed through and locked in place without special tools. It saves time during assembly and later when you need to add or replace a line. Each frame and grommet holds the IP rating — often IP66 or IP68 — even after repeated openings.

There are also Jacob sealing glands designed for pressure-tight installations or outdoor panels. These use a multi-layer rubber insert that compresses around the cable sheath evenly, keeping water and dust out. It’s the kind of small part you stop noticing once it’s installed — because it just works year after year. Electricians appreciate that you can feel when it’s tight enough; the thread and gasket give a clear stop instead of the “spongy” feel you get with cheaper fittings.

Jacob strain relief fittings and waterproof connectors

Another piece many ignore until it’s too late — strain relief. The Jacob strain relief fittings stop tension on the cable from reaching the terminal block or device connector. The grip section locks the cable without damaging the jacket, which matters when you have vibration or movement in the system.

For outdoor or washdown areas, Jacob waterproof cable connectors are the safe choice. They combine sealing, mechanical support, and proper grounding in one compact piece. The brass or stainless housings handle direct jets of water and temperature swings without losing tightness. In short — if you need a connection that survives time, oil, and weather, this is the kind of hardware you reach for.

Why professionals choose Jacob cable inlet systems

Installers like Jacob because it’s one of those brands that quietly does the job right. The parts fit, the sealing rings don’t tear, and the threads catch cleanly even after years of storage. You can tighten them with a wrench or just by hand — and you know they’ll hold. For small control boxes or entire production lines, the logic is the same: once you’ve used Jacob cable entry hardware, you don’t look for alternatives.

Each component is certified under IEC and EN standards, resistant to UV, chemicals, and continuous vibration. The IP ratings are real, not marketing numbers. That’s why these glands and inlets are common not only in factory automation but also in transport, energy systems, and outdoor lighting.
