Cable Entry Systems for Entering Pre-Terminated Cables
The patented cable entry system enables the user to enter, seal and provide strain relief for pre-terminated and standard cables.

The key feature of Icotek’s patented system is the split frame and split inserts which provide quick, convenient and cost effective routing of pre-terminated and standard cables. The split frame and split insert alleviate the need to cut and re-wire pre-terminated cables. Therefore, cable warranties are unaffected.

Cables, pipes and conduits with various diameters can be routed due to the split frame and split inserts. When assembled correctly, the split inserts are held tightly within the frame. Correctly sizing the insert to the cable diameter ensures a high degree of protection (IP 54) and provides strain relief.

Benefits of these Cable Entry Systems

1. Split system
   Split inserts are positively guided into the frame. This ensures a tight seal around the cables and strain relief according to DIN-EN 50262.
    
2. No new punch out tools required
   Drilling templates, as well as cut outs according to the standard dimensions for multi pole connectors (for example from Harting, Wieland).
    
3. Tight connection
   Uniquely designed frame and inserts assures a tight, secure unit.
    
4. Flexibility
   Standard inserts are designed to accommodate only one cable. Utilising inserts that pass two and four cables greatly increases packing density.

Cable Entry Systems for Standard Cables
Even when entering standard cables Icotek offers a wide range of products that offer a lot of advantages in comparison to conventional cable glands.

The compact, slim and innovative design of the Icotek system offers a professional appearance and in many applications good strain relief.

Especially suitable for applications where a lot of cables have to be entered into a small space.

Benefits of these Cable Entry Systems

1. High packing density
   The cable entry plates KEL-DPZ and KEL-DP offer the opportunity to enter a large amount of cables through a small space.
    
2. Fast and easy assembly
   The installation of cables is done by pushing the cables through the thin, pierceable membrane.
    
3. No new punch out tools needed
   The KEL-DP range matches exactly the drilling templates, as well as cut outs according to the standard dimensions for multi pole connectors (for example from Harting, Wieland).
    
4. Tight seal
   Depending on the product a high sealing rate up to IP 65 can be achieved.
    
5. Flexibility
   Due to the large variety of designs and sizes available, there’s a solution for every application.
    
6. Customised solutions
   If you can’t find what you need in our standard product offering, custom solutions are available upon request.

Strain Relief Systems
By using icotek strain relief systems the user can quickly assemble, organise and provide strain relief for cables. The systems can be used for organising and securing cables in machines, switch cabinets, enclosures and dynamic cable carriers.

Benefits of Strain Relief Systems

1. Flexible
   Because of the many different types of DIN rails and screw type assemblies, Icotek offers numerous mounting options.
    
2. Fast and easy assembly
   Securing the cables is done quickly and inexpensively with standard cable ties.
    
3. Secure hold
   The unique shape of the strain relief securely holds the cable tie and cable.
    
4. High packing density
   The strain relief plates are available in several sizes. By multilayer mounting the packing density can be greatly increased.
5. Flexibility
   Due to the wide variety of sizes and designs, a matching product for each application can be found.

EMC Innovations
For process measurement and control equipment an increasingly higher level of protection against failure is required.

The shielding and the earthing of the shields is very important.

The area where the cable shield is connected to the enclosure earth/ ground is a critical point. It is very important that the connection has a low resistance.

Benefits of EMC Innovations

1. Flexible
   Because of the many different types of DIN rails and screw type assemblies, Icotek offers numerous mounting options.
    
2. Fast and tool free assembly
   Strip the cable shield - press in - ready.
    
3. Secure hold
   Properly sized and used in conjunction with cable ties, provides strain relief in accordance with VDE.
    
4. Large contact area
   The SKL shield clamps offer a large contact area to the cable shield (see picture A). In comparison to conventional shield clamps we can achieve a up to 50% higher contact area when using the SKL line.
    
5. Greatly reduces high frequency interferences
   In large frequency fields, the SKL shield clamps provide low resistance. Effective range up to 1,000 MHz below 120 Ohms and 10 KHz to 100 MHz significant below 20 Ohms.

Switch Cabinet Accessories & Earthing Tapes
A reason for increasing machine failures is dust and dirt inside of switch gears, especially if the equipment is placed in a contaminated environment.

Also contributing to machine failures is dust and dirt inside the switch cabinet.

Conventional cable entry systems like foam rubber get brittle over time. Other systems fail by being very limited in the maximum diameter.

Benefits of Switch Cabinet Accessories & Earthing Tapes

1. Flexible
   For mounting cable entry systems with pre-terminated and non pre- terminated cables there are several designs of base plates and flange plates available.
    
2. Fast and easy assembly
   The base plates are shipped ready for assembly. Threads incorporated in the base plates provide quick and easy installation.
    
3. Secure hold
   Strain relief and a tight seal is incorporated in the system.
    
4. Easy to maintain
   Due to the split of the systems switch cabinets can be equipped with these system subsequently without having to disconnect the cables. Just build "around" the running system.
