OEX ACX1343 Cable Gland Nylon 25mm 5 Pce

OEX ACX1343 IP68 Rated Nylon 66 Cable Gland 25mm Mounting Hole for 13 to 18mm Cable Pack of 5 Largest in the OEX Range

The OEX ACX1343 is a nylon 66 cable gland supplied in a pack of 5, providing a waterproof and secure cable entry point through panels, enclosures and junction boxes. Rated IP68 for full submersion protection and UL approved. Suits conduit and cable diameters of 13 to 18mm with a 25mm mounting hole, 18.4mm internal diameter and 15.2mm thread length the largest size in the OEX cable gland range, suited to heavy conduit and large cable bundle entries. Covered by a one year warranty.

Product overview

The ACX1343 is the largest gland in the OEX cable gland range, stepping up from the ACX1342 (10 to 14mm, 20mm hole) to a 25mm mounting hole and 13 to 18mm cable and conduit range. It accommodates heavy main cable runs, 16.3mm convoluted tubing, thick multi-core cables and large conduit that exceed the capacity of all smaller sizes in the range. At this size, fewer glands are typically required per installation, which is reflected in the pack of 5 rather than pack of 10 format.

The IP68 rating confirms full sealing against dust and continuous water submersion under pressure. The nylon 66 construction is UL approved for chemical resistance and dimensional stability. The 15.2mm thread length suits panels within that thickness confirm panel thickness before installation. The 25mm mounting hole is the largest standard drilling size in the OEX gland range and may require a step drill or hole saw to prepare in thicker panel materials.

Technical specs

Frequently asked questions

What is a cable gland used for? A cable gland is a fitting that provides a secure, sealed entry point for a cable or conduit passing through a panel or enclosure wall. It clamps around the cable to prevent movement and chafing, while the sealing mechanism prevents moisture, dust and contaminants from entering through the cable opening.

What does IP68 mean? IP68 is an ingress protection rating indicating the fitting is fully sealed against dust (6) and protected against continuous immersion in water under pressure (8). It is the highest standard IP rating, suited to marine, submerged and fully exposed outdoor applications.

What cable or conduit sizes does this gland suit? This gland suits cables and conduit with an outer diameter of 13 to 18mm. Confirm the cable or conduit outer diameter falls within this range before purchasing to ensure a correct seal.

What size hole does this gland require and does panel thickness matter? The gland requires a 25mm mounting hole. A step drill or hole saw may be required to prepare this hole in thicker panel materials. The thread length is 15.2mm, so confirm panel thickness is within this measurement before installation to ensure the locknut engages correctly.

How does the ACX1343 compare to the smaller glands in the OEX range? The ACX1343 is the largest gland in the OEX range, suited to 13 to 18mm cable with a 25mm mounting hole. For smaller cables, the ACX1342 suits 10 to 14mm with a 20mm hole, the ACX1341 suits 5 to 10mm with a 16mm hole, and the ACX1340 suits 3 to 6.5mm with a 12mm hole. Select the gland that matches your cable or conduit outer diameter and panel hole size.
