Rittal Cable inlet

rittal cable inlet solutions for clean, compliant entries

Panel teams rely on Rittal entry hardware to bring power, control, and data through the wall without sacrificing IP, EMC, or serviceability. The portfolio spans split frames for pre‑terminated leads, brush/membrane plates for high‑count bundles, and metric interfaces that align with standard cut‑outs in TS 8/VX25 and compact AX/KX/AE enclosures.

Product range and formats – rittal cable glands

Metric glands (M16–M63). Threaded polymer or metal bodies with elastomer seals; grip ranges match common jacket ODs. Locknuts and sealing washers maintain IP on coated steel walls. For wash‑down or coastal sites, use stainless variants with captive O‑rings.

Split and modular frames. Tool‑less cassettes accept pre‑terminated connectors; grommet inserts clamp multiple ODs in one opening and simplify swaps during maintenance.

Brush and membrane plates. High‑density entries for low‑risk interiors; brushes control airflow and dust while keeping dressing tidy around server/PLC bays.

Strain‑relief rails. Cross‑bars with clamp points placed just inside the entry; they lift mechanical load from terminals in line with EN 62444.

Technical specifications and standards – rittal cable entry systems

• Ingress & sealing: assemblies achieve IP54–IP66 per EN 60529 when paired with the right grommets/plates. Temperature ranges typically −25…+80 °C (elastomer dependent). UL 94 V‑0 materials are available for fire‑critical sites.
• Materials & finish: polymer glands in PA6/PA6‑GF; metal in nickel‑plated brass or stainless A2/A4. Plates in powder‑coated steel or anodized aluminum. Gaskets in EPDM or silicone for higher temps.
• Interfaces: metric threads M16–M63; rectangular frames match Rittal punch geometry. Adapter plates convert legacy holes without ad‑hoc drilling.
• EMC: conductive gland bodies and bonding springs/360° clamps terminate braid/foil at the wall; pair with conductive plates and keep pigtails short to reduce let‑through.
• Strain‑relief: selection and testing follow EN 62444; document clamp locations in FAT so maintenance knows where loads are intercepted.

Installer tip: keep the unsupported span between the wall and first clamp minimal; it prevents lever action on the seal and extends gland life.

Applications and compatibility – rittal emc cable inlets

• Drives and VFD bays: 360° shield bonding at the plate cuts noise; route power and control on separate entries to preserve EMC partitioning.
• BMS/lighting panels: split frames take pre‑terminated DALI/Ethernet harnesses; brush plates manage dense low‑voltage bundles.
• Outdoor kiosks & food areas: metal glands with silicone seals and stainless hardware maintain IP under wash‑down; orient entries with drip edges.

All entry components align with Rittal rail/plate geometry, so hole patterns, fasteners, and clearances remain consistent across cabinets.

Integration with enclosure platforms – rittal strain relief fittings

Pair gland plates with internal TS35 strain‑relief bars and clamp rows just ahead of terminal blocks. Where EMC is specified, use conductive plates and short, wide bonding paths to the backplate. Depth rails help route conductors clear of door swings and sharp bends.

If server/PLC equipment sits adjacent, add brush plates for low‑risk interiors and reserve sealed entries for mains and outdoor feeds.

Selection criteria for B2B clients – rittal sealing cable inlets

1. Protection targets — pick IP class for the zone (IP54 interiors vs IP66 outdoors) and confirm temperature/chemical exposure.
2. Cable set & OD mix — size grip ranges and pick split frames for pre‑terminated leads; plan spare capacity for future drops.
3. EMC requirement — specify 360° shield termination and conductive plates where VFDs or sensitive I/O are present.
4. Strain‑relief scheme — define clamp spacing to EN 62444; place the first intercept close to the wall.
5. Platform fit — align plate format and hole patterns with the enclosure family (VX25/TS 8/AX/KX/AE) to avoid rework.

Procurment teams often standardize one polymer gland line, one brass/stainless line, and a modular split‑frame system to cover most installs with minimal spares.

Cable management and service – rittal wiring access modules

Use adapter/blanking plates to phase upgrades without leaving open cut‑outs. Mark entry IDs on drawings and labels; mirrored layouts across bayed cabinets save time for field crews and simplify spare‑part bins.
