Product Information
Full details
The Loops M40 Cable Gland is an essential component for electrical engineers, automation technicians, and DIY hobbyists looking to secure and protect cable entry points in enclosures. It provides a robust, IP68-rated seal against dust and moisture, ensuring long-term reliability for cables ranging from 22mm to 32mm in diameter. While it offers superior protection and durability across extreme temperatures, users must ensure the cable diameter falls strictly within the specified range to maintain the airtight integrity of the seal.

FAQs
What does the IP68 rating mean?
IP68 means the gland is dust-tight and can withstand submersion in water under conditions specified by the manufacturer, effectively protecting internal components from environmental contaminants.
Can this be used for underground installations?
Yes, provided the installation is sealed correctly and the cable type is rated for direct burial or conduit usage.
Are the components corrosion-resistant?
The M40 is designed for durability in harsh environments, meeting high safety standards, though we recommend periodic inspection for any signs of physical wear.
What is the primary function of the included claw?
The claw provides mechanical strain relief, gripping the cable jacket to prevent the cable from being pulled out of the enclosure.
Does this work with flat cables?
No, this gland is designed specifically for circular cables within the 22-32mm diameter range to ensure an effective waterproof seal.
Troubleshooting
The cable feels loose after installation.
Ensure the sealing nut is fully tightened. If the cable diameter is at the lower end of the 22-32mm range, additional tightening may be required to compress the seal.
Unable to pass the cable through the gland.
Verify that your cable external diameter does not exceed 32mm and check that the internal claw is not obstructed by debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the M40 Cable Gland, follow these steps:
- Drill a hole of the appropriate size in your enclosure wall to accommodate the gland thread.
- Insert the gland body through the hole from the outside of the enclosure.
- Secure the gland in place by tightening the lock nut on the inside with a wrench.
- Slide the sealing nut and cable through the gland, ensuring the cable is centered.
- Tighten the sealing nut firmly until the internal seal compresses around the cable jacket.
Regular maintenance involves checking the tightness of the sealing nut during routine inspections, especially in high-vibration environments. The unit should be kept free of heavy chemical residues that might compromise the integrity of the sealing material over time.
