Lapp SKINTOP Series Nickel Plated Brass Cable Gland, M40 Thread, 19mm min., 28mm max., IP68

From Lapp, the Skintop series presents a cable gland designed for use with copper-screened cables. It features a brass wire contact brush that ensures 360° screen contact, which is EMC safe while offering a variable clamping range. This cable gland presents fast and adjustable solution to EMC safe cable management, with maximum reliability.

The MS-HF-M BRUSH gland can maintain a high degree of protection against environmental ingress. These screw on cable glands are easy to install, and provide strain relief to prevent wear and tear on the cable connection.

The Skintop series of cable glands have a rugged nickel-plated brass body, and as such have a high degree of mechanical resistance, ensuring a reliable and durable connector solution for demanding environments. Their halogen-free components also make them ideal for use in confined areas where protection of the public is a priority, such as in railway transport.
