• Connector: brass fully nickel plated
• Seal: SOLO LSF (low smoke fumes) thermoplastic elastomer
• High speed liquid resin sealing compound.
Features
• Utilizes RapidEx high speed liquid resin sealing compound
included with each gland.
• The gland utilizes a liquid pour resin seal that vastly reduces
installation time and associated costs. This solution is
particularly effective on multicore cables where traditional
compound is difficult and time consuming to apply.
• Connector provides an environmental seal on the cable jacket
and an explosionproof liquid resin barrier seal around the cable
inner cores.
• Continuous operating temperature -60 °C to +100 °C (-76 °F to +212 °F).
• Sealing technique - displacement seal concept. Sealing area(s) - inner liquid resin barrier and outer sheath.
