What Should You Pay Attention To When Choosing Plastic Cable Waterproof Connectors?

More and more fields use Nylon Cable Gland because this type of connector can adapt to special environments. Because the ease of use of this connector involves safety issues, there are many issues that need to be considered when choosing this connector. What specific issues should be paid attention to? See the following introduction.

After the cable is laid, it is rounded, wrapped with self-adhesive tape on the outside to form a circle, and then wrapped with plastic anti-wear tape. The overlap should be about half of the tape width, and the length should exceed the self-adhesive tape by at least 150mm, and the number of layers of winding should be more than 3 layers.

What issues should be paid attention to when choosing plastic cable waterproof connectors?

When choosing connectors, a very important point to note is the IP waterproof grade standard. The IP waterproof grade standard directly determines the waterproof performance of the connector. Generally speaking, IPXX will be marked on the packaging of the connector, and the two digits XX must be read clearly.

The first X is from 0 to 6. The larger the number, the higher the protection level. Similarly, the second X is also a number. The larger the number, the higher the protection level, but the number is from 0 to 8. It can be known that the IP68 connector has very good waterproof performance.

With the development of technology, more and more similar products have appeared on the market. When choosing, you need to pay attention not only to the protection level, but also to the following aspects:

1. Specific model

There are many different types of connectors. In the selection process, you should know whether the connector model corresponds to the cable model. If the model is not selected correctly, it cannot be used in formal application, which will not only delay the construction progress, but also waste money.

2. Specific quality

Nowadays, there are many connector manufacturers. Different manufacturers use different production technologies. Some manufacturers use very mature technologies, while some manufacturers use immature technologies, resulting in high and low quality of the connectors produced. Therefore, when choosing, you need to see whether the manufacturer's production technology is mature.

In addition, you should also understand the corresponding price. The price of plastic cable waterproof connectors will change with changes in market demand. Different manufacturers give different prices. When choosing, you should pay attention to the price trend and choose a connector with a suitable price according to your economic ability.
