What degree of protection does a DES frame achieve?

IP66 or NEMA 4X, with any combination of entry grommets: single, double, quadruple or break-through.

Can cables with connectors go through?

Yes. The frame is split, so pre-assembled cables are laid in instead of being pushed through.

How do I choose the right frame?

Based on the number and diameters of your cables. Send us a cable list; we put together the combination of frame and entry grommets.

What is the difference from a cable entry plate?

An entry plate is a fixed plate with membranes for cables without a connector and is more economical. A frame is split and suitable for cables with a connector.

Which cable entry frames does Wisman supply?

From Icotek the KEL series (including KEL-ERM, KEL-ER, KEL-U, KEL-FA, KEL-QUICK, KEL-FG and KEL-JUMBO) and from Detas Ultra the DES frames. Both are split and suitable for cables with connectors.

Which cable grommets go in a KEL frame?

Icotek KEL frames take KT cable grommets, and for multiple diameters per grommet the KTMB and KTMBS. We select the grommets based on your cable list.

Cable entry frames.Dozens of cables, one neat opening.

A cable entry frame bundles all cables that have to enter a cabinet in one rectangular cut-out. It is split, so cables with a connector simply drop in. With cable grommets per cable the whole is sealed and every cable gets strain relief.

About the product group · Detas Ultra

Cable entry frames

For: Cables with and without connector, Ø 2 to 35 mm
Protection: IP66 · NEMA 4X with any rubber combination
Fire behaviour: Fully self-extinguishing V0
Assembly: Split frame + freely positionable entry grommets

The frame consists of a split housing in which you place entry rubbers freely: single, double, quadruple or as a break-through blind rubber for later. After closing, the frame clamps the rubbers in place. This gives a seal against dust and water and strain relief on every cable at the same time.

The DES frames are available in compact, elongated and square versions and in a 90° version for right-angle entry. With any combination of grommets, IP66 / NEMA 4X is achieved; the system is fully self-extinguishing to V0.

When

When do you choose cable entry frames?

01Many cables in one place: Instead of a row of glands, a single cut-out. Faster to install and clearer for service.
02Cables with connectors: The frame is split: pre-assembled cables go in complete, with no cutting.
03Sealing matters: IP66 and strain relief in one, even with varying cable diameters.
04Expansion expected: Blind grommets keep space free for cables that are added later.

How to choose

From cable list to the right model

Send your cable list. We choose the model and size and check that everything fits.

Send your cable list

01Make a cable list
Number of cables, outer diameters and which have a connector. We use that to choose the entry grommets.
02Choose the frame size
Compact (DES 10), elongated (L series), square (Q) or large (16 and 24). The size follows from the number of grommets.
03Straight or right-angled
Do the cables need to run straight down along the cabinet wall? Then the DES 24-90 with angled entry.
04Keep space free
Plan one or two blanking grommets for future cables; that avoids a second cut-out later.
