  • RMC Series: Economical metal cable glands with IP67 protection, suitable for M12 to M32 sizes, made from nickel-plated brass and TPE sealing inserts.
  • AGM Series: High water protection IP68 metal cable glands, suitable for M6 to M50 sizes, operating from -40°C to +100°C, compliant with EN50262 Ver. A.
Procedures and Recommendations
  • Recommended torque values ensure proper installation without damaging the cable or gland.
  • Precautions include avoiding excessive tightening and ensuring the connector is held with a tool to prevent co-rotation.
  • Field testing is advised to confirm suitability under specific conditions.
Technical Data
  • Protection classes: RM and RMC series offer IP67, while AGM series offers IP68.
  • Operating temperatures: RM and RMC from -20°C to +80°C, AGM from -40°C to +100°C.
