Detailed description

Designed for cable management and protection aboard, Blue Sea Systems’ CableClam 1.40" provides a watertight cable penetration solution for marine installations. This cable gland allows safe passage through decks or bulkheads, ensuring the integrity of the electrical system against the marine environment. It accommodates cables with a diameter up to 1.40 inches (approximately 35.56 mm).

Installation and Design of the CableClam 1.40"

The CableClam 1.40" features a compression ring, a sealing gasket, and a deck ring. Installation requires drilling a hole for the cable in the gasket, then slitting it to insert the cable. The deck ring is mounted using #8 screws, followed by insertion of the gasket and cable into the compression ring, which is then screwed onto the deck ring. Overall dimensions are 2.67 inches (67.70 mm) in length, 1.50 inches (38.16 mm) in width, with a height of 1.02 inches (25.86 mm) and a base of 1.12 inches (28.33 mm).

Marine Positioning and Integration

Compared to generic solutions, Blue Sea Systems’ CableClam, including the 1.40" model, is specifically designed for marine applications where watertight integrity and resistance to elements are critical. It belongs to Blue Sea’s wiring accessories range, renowned for its quality standards in marine electrical systems, providing a reliable alternative for cable penetrations on recreational or commercial vessels.

« Reliable sealing solution for marine cable penetrations »

Blue Sea Systems' CableClam 1.40" is an essential component for any marine electrical installation requiring a professional, watertight cable pass-through through a bulkhead or deck. Its practical value lies in preventing water ingress, a leading cause of corrosion and electrical system failures onboard. It is particularly suited for mid-sized sailboats and powerboats where multiple cables, including power or data cables of substantial diameter, must be routed securely.

In terms of installation, this model offers notable flexibility. The method of drilling the gasket to the exact cable size, followed by a slit, allows precise adaptation to various configurations without compromising watertightness. Unlike more traditional cable glands that may be less tolerant to cable diameter variations, the CableClam, with its compression system, ensures a tight fit. It is critical to respect the specified torque for the screws to avoid damaging the gasket or the cable gland structure. This type of solution is preferable to sealants or adhesive tapes, which offer inferior long-term durability and reliability in marine environments.
