1 Cable glands RAC type (code: RAC)

The sealing ring blocks the cable on the diameter under armour.
The cone rings grips and grounds the cable armour.
The addition of female thread on the backnut allows the cable
gland to be coupled to a conduit fitting. Cable glands EMC tested
by triaxial method, according to IEC 62153-4-3, IEC 62153-4-4
standards. Metric cable glands are made according to EN 62444
standard. Maintenance and installation operations and product
selection must be done in accordance with IEC EN 60079-14 and
17 standards.

Degree of protection
7
Sealing washer The cable glands degree of protection is IP66 or IP66/68, 30-meters
depth for 7 days according to the IEC EN 60529 standard; the
Locknut degree of protection IP 68 is obtained by using flat sealing rings on
cable glands with cylindrical threads. Without gaskets, the degree
Shrouds of protection is IP 66. If the cable glands with cylindrical or tapered
threads are screwed on the threaded hole of an apparatus, in order
Earth tags to guarantee an IP66 or IP66/68 degree of protection, threaded
parts must be sealed with Loctite or similar. In order to maintain
the IPX8 degree of protection, the cable entry shall be fitted on
enclosure witch satisfies an immersion test under 30 meters of water
during 7 days. Metric cable glands are made in accordance to
EN 62444 Standard.
