When Purchasing Metal Waterproof Cable Connectors, Pay Attention To The Waterproof Performance

Nylon Cable Gland is mostly used for the connection and waterproofing of cables and lines. It is needed in many environments. Since it is mostly used outdoors and may be in contact with water for a long time, its waterproof performance must be excellent, otherwise it will affect the normal use of cables and lines. Therefore, we must pay attention to its waterproof performance when purchasing.

At present, there are many manufacturers producing metal waterproof cable connectors, including well-known manufacturers and brands, as well as unknown small processing plants. Many customers often find it difficult to judge which manufacturer produces products with good quality and strong performance.

When purchasing, we should know how to judge the strength of the waterproof ability of the metal waterproof cable connector, so as to purchase qualified products.

I don’t know if you have noticed that there will be an IP on the product description of the waterproof connector when purchasing, followed by two numbers. These two numbers indicate the strength and weakness of the product’s protection performance. Usually, the larger the two numbers, the stronger the product’s protection performance.

When purchasing, you can look at these two numbers. The first digit indicates the product's protection level against solids. The numbers range from 0 to 6. The larger the number, the better the protection effect of water life against solids. The second digit indicates the waterproof performance. The numbers range from 0 to 8. The larger the water life, the better the waterproof performance.

When purchasing metal waterproof cable connectors, you don't necessarily need to buy high heat protection levels. You can choose products with different protection levels based on the environment and requirements of use.
