How to make an entrance....

The complete choice of cable entry options explained, including when is the right time for a quick entry...
When specifying an enclosure for electrical applications one of the key considerations has to be cable entry. The cable entry points of an enclosure can help to determine the overall level of ingress protection (IP) provided against the external environment as well as cable retention force and crucially, installation speed, all-the-while balancing utility with cost. Recent developments in materials, moulding technology and push-fit grommets have changed the options that are available providing a far more specialised solution for a variety of applications; time to reassess the options then.
Chris Lloyd, Sales and Marketing Manager for Spelsberg UK, explains the strengths and weaknesses of different cable entry options and provides details on the latest developments.
"Making the right choice of enclosure and entry method can make the difference between a profitable job and a loss, as well as guaranteeing the all important safety of installers and end users."
With new 'moulded-in' entry methods now on the market offering extremely fast entries, and traditional cable glands being replaced in some instances by lower cost fast-fit grommets, it is essential to know when to specify the right solution for any given application.
For example: by far the most common cable entry method is traditional cable glands fitted to the body of the enclosure through knock-outs. While this option offers a safe choice; what a lot of people don't realise is that they are often over-specifying and that this can massively increase costs and installation times, as well as making maintenance more time consuming down-the-line.

When stanley came to a set of two open junction boxes, he entered the cable gland on his left
