Detailed description

The Scanstrut DS-H6 horizontal cable gland is a professional-grade sealing solution designed for routing cables from 2 to 6 mm through a deck or bulkhead. Made of gray composite, this marine cable gland provides reliable protection against water ingress while maintaining a clean aesthetic. It is part of the Scanstrut cable gland range, which also includes models DS-H10 (for cables up to 10 mm), DS16, DS21A, DS21B, DS30, and DS40, each suited to specific cable diameters. The DS-H6 stands out for its compact size and ease of installation, ideal for antenna wiring, sensor cables, or small electrical harnesses.

Technical specifications and installation

The DS-H6 kit includes an upper shell, a base, a sealing gasket, a blank plug for custom drilling, six pre-drilled plugs for 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm cables, as well as three self-tapping screws and one M4x12 bolt. Installation requires a 28.5 mm diameter hole in the support, followed by drilling three 2.5 mm guide holes for the mounting screws. The blank plug allows for custom drilling if needed. The design includes a 12 mm bend radius for a 6 mm cable, preserving cable integrity. The overall height is 46 mm. Compared to larger models like the DS-H10, the DS-H6 offers a more discreet solution for smaller diameters, while models DS16 and above are intended for thicker cables or multiple passes.

Positioning and compatibility

The Scanstrut DS-H6 is positioned as a premium alternative to generic cable glands, with superior manufacturing quality and a UV- and seawater-resistant composite finish. It is compatible with all standard marine cables (antenna, sensor, small harness) and integrates seamlessly with installations from brands such as B&G, Garmin, or Raymarine for routing sensor cables, GPS antennas, or autopilot cables. Its horizontal design allows for mounting on flat deck or roof surfaces, ensuring long-lasting sealing in demanding marine environments.

Which cable diameters are compatible with the DS-H6 deck gland?

The DS-H6 deck gland is compatible with cables ranging from 2 to 6 mm in diameter. Pre-drilled plugs are provided for diameters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm.

Can I run multiple cables through a single DS-H6 cable gland?

No, the DS-H6 cable gland is designed for passing only one cable at a time. One single gland is used per cable gland to ensure optimal watertightness.

Is this bridge cable suitable for antenna or sensor cables?

Yes, the DS-H6 deck gland is ideal for wiring antennas, sensors, small electrical bundles or other marine applications requiring the passage of a small-diameter cable (2 to 6 mm).

What is the required hole diameter for the through-hull installation?

Installing the DS-H6 through-hull requires drilling a 28.50 mm (1.12 in) hole in the mounting surface.

What tools are required to install the Scanstrut DS-H6 deck-penetrator?

For the installation of the DS-H6 deck-penetration fitting, you will need the following tools:

A Pozidriv screwdriver
Silicone sealant (for waterproofing)
Drill bits: ø2.5 mm (3/32”), ø3 mm (1/8”), and ø10 mm (25/64”)
3 mm (1/8”) Allen key

How to choose the right bung for my cable?

You must select the pre-drilled bung whose diameter is closest to and slightly larger than or equal to your cable’s diameter to ensure optimal sealing. The kit includes bungs for diameters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm.

What should I do if the diameter of my cable does not match any of the pre-drilled plugs?

If the diameter of your cable does not match the pre-drilled plugs provided, you can use the blank plug included in the kit. It can be custom-drilled to the exact diameter of your cable.

Should silicone be used when installing the DS-H6 through-hull transducer?

Yes, using silicone is recommended during installation to ensure a watertight seal between the through-hull base and the mounting surface, thus preventing any water ingress.

Is the DS-H6 deck gland marine environment resistant?

Yes, as a Scanstrut product designed for the marine sector and made of composite material, the DS-H6 is specifically built to withstand harsh marine conditions, including UV exposure, saltwater, and weathering.

What is the main difference between the DS-H6 and the DS-H10?

The main difference lies in the maximum supported cable diameter. The DS-H6 is designed for cables from 2 to 6 mm, while the DS-H10 is suited for larger diameters, up to 10 mm. The DS-H6 provides a more compact solution for smaller diameters.
