Product Overview
The XW-DK Series Multi-Hole Nickel-Plated Brass Cable Gland is an innovative space-saving solution designed to route multiple small-diameter cables through a single enclosure entry point. By consolidating multiple cable feeds into one compact fitting, it eliminates the need to drill multiple holes into junction boxes or control panels, significantly reducing installation time and preserving structural integrity.
Constructed with a premium nickel-plated brass body, a heavy-duty Nylon PA66 clamping claw, and a durable multi-hole Nitrile rubber (NBR) sealing insert, this cable gland achieves an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating. It offers high tensile strain relief and outstanding resistance to salt water, weak acids, alkalis, alcohol, oils, and common solvents. Fully certified under CE, ROHS, SGS, and TUV, it is the premier choice for outdoor industrial automation, renewable energy, and telecommunication distribution.
Key Features
-
Multi-Cable Entry Design: Features a multi-hole inner sealing insert that allows multiple independent wires/cables to pass through a single entry hole, drastically saving enclosure surface area and panel space.
-
IP68 Waterproof & Dustproof: Precision-engineered thread O-ring and compressed rubber insert ensure a complete airtight and high-pressure watertight seal against severe outdoor environments.
-
High Tensile Strain Relief: The specialized Nylon PA66 clamping claw evenly grips cable jackets without damaging insulation, delivering strong pull-out resistance under heavy vibration.
-
Superior Corrosion & Solvent Resistance: Heavy-duty nickel plating protects the brass body against oxidation, marine salt spray, weak acids, alkalis, oils, and industrial solvents.
-
Wide Temperature Adaptability: Standard working temperature ranges from -40°C to +100°C (short-term heat resistance up to +120°C). High-temperature silicone or fluoro-rubber options are available for extreme conditions (-60°C to +220°C).
-
Global Standard Threading: Available across Metric (M), German Panzergewinde (PG), National Pipe Taper (NPT), and British Pipe (G/PF) thread standards.
Applications
Ideal for high-density wiring environments requiring compact cable entry and IP68 sealing:
-
Industrial Automation & Control Cabinets: Routing multiple sensor, signal, and power cables into PLC boxes and motor control units.
-
Solar & Renewable Energy Systems: Connecting multi-string DC cables into solar combiner boxes and inverter enclosures.
-
Outdoor LED Lighting & Junction Boxes: Protecting multi-core power feeds for streetlights, architectural lighting, and marine deck lights.
-
Telecommunications & Outdoor Cabinets: Managing multi-wire feeds in 5G base stations, security surveillance boxes, and outdoor terminal boxes.
-
Machinery & Chemical Equipment: Heavy machinery wiring exposed to coolant washdowns, oils, and chemical vapors.

Product FAQ
Q1: What is the main advantage of using a multi-hole cable gland over a standard single-hole gland?
A multi-hole cable gland allows you to pass 2, 3, 4, or more smaller cables through a single enclosure opening. This saves significant panel space, avoids drilling multiple entry holes, speeds up wiring installation, and reduces overall fitting costs.
Q2: What should I do if one of the holes in the multi-hole seal is left unused?
If you have an empty hole in the sealing insert, you should insert a dedicated rubber or plastic plug pin (blind plug) into that hole before tightening the cap nut. This guarantees that the gland maintains its full IP68 waterproof seal.
Q3: Can I order custom hole configurations (different hole diameters or quantities)?
Yes! As a direct manufacturer, we offer OEM/ODM customization for the inner rubber sealing insert. We can custom-punch hole counts, hole diameters, and layout arrangements to match your exact cable harness specifications.
Q4: Can this gland handle high-temperature or highly corrosive environments?
Our standard NBR rubber handles temperatures up to +100°C. For extreme high-heat or harsh chemical environments, we offer custom high-temperature Silicone seals (-60°C to +200°C) or Fluororubber seals (-20°C to +220°C) with superior acid/alkali resistance.
Q5: Are custom thread lengths or alternative materials like Stainless Steel available?
Yes. While nickel-plated brass is our standard high-volume material, we also produce this multi-hole series in 304 Stainless Steel (SS), 316 Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel (CS), with options for custom male thread lengths for thick-walled cast boxes.
