The Scanstrut DS-HD10 cable gland is compatible with cables having a diameter between 6 mm and 10 mm (0.23 to 0.39 inches).

The DS-HD10 cable gland comes with a set of 12 bungies (6 pairs), including pairs for the following cable diameters: 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, as well as blank bungies (no hole) to seal an unused cable gland entry or for customization.

Yes, the DS-HD10 is a complement to other products in the Scanstrut range. It provides a dual solution for installations similar to those using the DS-H6 (for a single 2–6 mm cable) or the DS-H10 (for a single 6–10 mm cable).

Yes, this cable gland can be installed on various materials. It is compatible with soft materials (such as plywood), hard materials (such as fiberglass, hardwoods, acrylic) and metal surfaces (such as steel and aluminum). The screw fastening method may vary depending on the material type.

To install the Scanstrut DS-HD10 cable gland, a 32 mm (1-1/4 inches) diameter hole must be drilled.

For installation, you will need the following tools: a Pozidriv screwdriver, silicone, 2.5 mm (3/32 inch) or 3 mm (1/8 inch) drill bits depending on the surface material, and a hole saw or 32 mm (1-1/4 inch) drill bit.

Four self-tapping screws size #6 x 16 mm are included in the package for mounting the cable gland base on soft or hard materials.

No, for installation on metal surfaces (such as steel or aluminum), it is recommended to use M3 countersunk bolts longer than 12 mm with a washer and Nyloc nut. These items are not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

You must choose the bungie whose diameter is closest to that of your cable. The cable gland comes with pairs of bungies in different sizes (6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm) and blank bungies to suit your needs.

Yes, it is important to carefully deburr the drilled hole before installing the cable gland. This ensures a smooth surface and better adhesion for optimal watertightness.

Waterproofing is ensured by several components: the two-part cable gland design with an integrated gasket, the use of bungs sized to match the exact diameter of each cable, and the recommended application of silicone when securing the base to the surface.

The footprint, or the surface area covered by the cable gland once installed, is 75.1 mm long by 66.5 mm wide. A cutting template is provided in the instructions to facilitate positioning and installation.
