Round cable entries for snap-in and screwing
The versatile KES cable entry system from Conta-Clip saves valuable installation time, allowing users to equip control cabinets and enclosures in seconds. Conta-Clip continuously expands its range and has now added round cable entries with a cone for cables and wires without plugs for snap-in or screwing.

KES-R M Konus takes cables with outer diameters from 3 mm to 50 mm and is particularly suitable for applications where the exact cable diameters are not yet defined during design. The cable entries with their distinctive 12 corners are snapped directly from the outside into round, metric cutouts from M25 to M63. They fit in walls between 1.0 mm and 2.5 mm thick and ensure IP54 ingress protection. For larger wall thicknesses up to 11 mm and to achieve superior protection up to IP66, the same entries can be screwed tight with a lock nut.
In practical application, after determining the cable diameter the cable entry is opened with a clean cut so that the diameter marking indicated on the cone step corresponds to the cable to be inserted and remains visible. The silicone-free and halogen-free material mix of TPE and fiberglass-reinforced polyamide 6.6 ensures tightness and stability. The KES-R M Konus series comprises five sizes for metric cutouts from M25 to M63. This allows flexible and reliable sealing of cable diameters from 3 mm to 50 mm.
