Weidmuller Introduces Cabtite: Easy Cable Entry System for Pre-wired
Cables or Conduit. Lowers Installed Costs and Increases Productivity.
Cabtite is a value-priced, easy
entry system for installing
pre-manufactured wire and cable
bundles and conduit into enclosures.
For some equipment, splicing cables
and cord sets void the
manufacturer's warranty. With
Cabtite, the panel builder avoids
splicing pre-wired cables necessary
with standard methods such as
conduit, cable glands, and
heavy-duty connectors. For those not
worried about the warranty on a $5
D-Sub cable, Weidmuller's Cabtite
simply eliminates the need to cut
and prep.
In applications where environmental
protection is required, Cabtite
delivers IP 65 (NEMA 6) Environments
for the KEL Frame and Cable Glands;
IP 54 (NEMA 4) for the KEL SNAP
system. And without messy
lubricants!
Cabtite is an easy to install
Grommet Carrier System that consists
of Snap-in Split Frame- KEL, Panel
Mounted Base- KEL SNAP, Split Cable
Glands- KTV, and most important,
grommets that fit all products.
The Cabtite KEL Frames are designed
to mount directly on the electrical
cabinet. They consist of two frame
pieces with captured screws that
carry multiple grommets. They come
in two sizes to accommodate various
numbers and sizes of grommets, and
can be left blank for future
installations and retrofits. Easy to
install with positively guided and
captured grommets that stay in place
during assembly so no parts fall
out. Panel cutouts are compatible
with standard rectangular heavy-duty
connector cutouts. They come with a
self-adhesive gasket that can be
used for a drill schedule and
pattern for panel cutout.
The KEL SNAP Panel Mounted Base
provides modular installation in a
snap. Where a manufacturer delivers
cabinets prior to field wiring, the
KEL SNAP Base can be installed
before shipping. When the cabinet is
in place, the KEL Frame, pre-loaded
with cables and grommets, fit
quickly and snuggly in place. KEL
SNAP is available in the same two
frame sizes - both compatible with
HDC HB 16 and 24 cutouts. For KEL
SNAP, the gasket is integral - made
of a foamed PUR and delivers an IP
54 or NEMA 4 protection.
The KTV Split Cable Glands capture
either one or four grommets - no
wasted space for just a connection
or two - and are ready for direct
mount on an electrical cabinet. They
come in three sizes: Metric M25,
M32, which carry a single grommet,
and M63 for up to four grommets. The
KTV Glands are threaded like a
standard cable gland, and use an
included lock washer to install.
Grommets, around which the
Weidmuller Cabtite system is
centered, fit all of the Cabtite
products. The grommets are split on
one side for a single piece that
tightly accommodates the wire or
conduit and are positively guided
(coded) for safe, error-free
installation. There are two sizes:
Small for wire sizes 3 mm to 17 mm
(0.12 in. to 0.71 in.) and Large for
wire sizes from 16 mm through 34 mm
(0.71 in. to 1.34 in.). Two colors
allow for choices in environmental
applications: Gray elastomers for UL
94 V0 and halogen and silicone free
applications, and black elastomers
for high chemical resistant
applications.
If shielding is required, Cabtite
provides a system of EMC shielding
rails for direct and fast continuous
shielding to the enclosure. The
grommet seals the connection from
the outside environment without
violating the cable jacket or
shielding material. The shielding
material, whether mesh or foil, is
connected to Weidmuller's of
environmental protection.
