AGRO Multi Cable Entry (MCE)
The innovative multi-entry solution for well-sealed, process-reliable cable entries.
MCE by AGRO:
Reliable sealing of cables using innovative multi-cable entry system
AGRO’s well-proven sealing technology now also in multiple-cable-entry units / Many possible applications in a wide range of sectors / Strain relief based on EN 62444 and sealing according to protection class IP68 / Robust and reliable in installation and operation / No supplementary materials or lubricants necessary / Especially suitable for use in demanding environmental conditions /
Hunzenschwil, Switzerland. The cable gland manufacturer AGRO has now launched a new generation of compact multiple-cable-entry units for use in applications with special requirements: the MCE system. With this new product range, the company is now using its well-proven technology relating to radial compression of sealing elements in a new type of cable entry unit for installing non-preassembled cables. This enables multiple individual cables to be fed into or through a wall as close together as necessary, with strain relief based on EN 62444 and sealing according to protection class IP68. The new system can be useful in a wide range of applications, from building services, switch/distribution cabinets, IT and the processing industry, or to vehicle, aircraft, energy or maritime technology.
The extremely robust and reliable system consists of two corrosion-resistant aluminium half-casings, and comes in six sizes, each with between three and ten cable entries and a cable clamping range of 5.5 to 21 mm. The anodised aluminium halves are quickly and easily connected together, from the front, using six compression screws. Moulded rubber (NBR) elements, well-known and proven trough their use in AGRO cable glands, ensure strain relief and proper sealing. To facilitate quick replacement during maintenance work, the sealing inserts are designed with a suitable split. The operating temperature range is from -30 to +105 °C. No supplementary materials or lubricants are required for installation. The MCE system is very compact, measuring only 148 x 79 x 26 mm.
With this new multiple-cable-entry solution AGRO is addressing a gap in the market, whereby existing solutions do not achieve the required values in relation to strain relief and sealing, or are very time-consuming from an installation perspective – a fact that quickly becomes apparent in the overall cost analysis. Compared to individual cable glands, the user can save space and benefit from more efficient installation, even in confined spaces. Due to their great robustness and high degree of sealing they achieve, the new multiple-entry units are particularly suitable for use where environmental conditions are especially demanding.
