Multi-bushing with gel technology, with no pre-pricking

LAPP has introduced SKINTOP MULTI-M with metric connection thread that requires no pre-pricking. These multi cable bushing systems are extremely convenient, as they allow many cables to be inserted in a compact bushing. This saves a great deal of space, especially, where installation dimensions are limited. However, when mounting cables and conductors are in multiple entries, a pre-pricking is usually necessary for the feed-through of cables and conductors. This not only amounts to additional installation work, but it is also a potential risk factor for the safe sealing of the cables.
However, with the SKINTOP MULTI-M with metric connection thread, there’s no such perquisite required. The infused highly elastic gel technology makes it possibly easy to insert cables with variable, outside diameters of 2-6mm into entry point. This product has bought a logical addition to LAPP’s existing product portfolio, which already includes various rectangular multi bushings and the classical round cable gland.

The SKINTOP MULTI-M now offers the connection of both, by enabling the insertion of a large number of cables in a round cable gland with metric connection thread. The gel is firmly connected to a plastic outer shell which defines the possible feed-through points. Thanks to the high elasticity of the gel, the conductors can be routed directly without having to pierce the gel beforehand. The gel adapts optimally to the cable diameter and thus guarantees a high IP protection class (IP 68).
