HellermannTyton launches cable entry solution

HellermannTyton is bringing time and cost savings to the electrical, panel building and control cabinet construction sectors with its new cable entry solution, the Vario Plate.

Retrofits, repairs and maintenance can be completed quickly with the Vario Plate, designed to give customers working with control panels and enclosures a tidier method for installing cables.

With flexible mini frames and rubber grommets that can be changed to match different varieties of cables and applications, the Vario Plate provides a professional alternative to conventional cable glands, ultimately making the task as simple as possible for electrical installers and panel builders to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

Due to its split system, the Vario Plate is a space saving solution, allowing for up to 40 cables per frame and has easy reassembly along with cut-out sizes of the enclosure up to 54 x 115mm so that the user may dismantle and reassemble the frame to suit their specific needs.

The optional mounting aid and integrated seal protect the Vario Plates’ IP65 and IP66 ratings for protection against dust and water entering the enclosure, whilst the separate strain relief ensures that the cables can be secured into place using cable ties without the risk of strain or pulling.

Nathan Bennett, Product Manager for HellermannTyton, says, “We are delighted to launch the Vario Plate as a new range for our product portfolio, and even more so because it introduces an alternative installation method to the market, providing both time and cost savings to our customers working in the panel building and electrical installation sectors.

“As a business, we are committed to creating efficient solutions for all cable management requirements, and we are always looking for ways to improve our solutions so that they are best equipped to meet our customers’ needs and make their jobs as simple as possible. With the Vario Plate, our customers can save time on installation and save costs on materials. It’s a win-win solution.”

Suitable for all standard cut-out dimensions and drilling patterns, the Vario Plate operates at -50°C to +100°C for static installations, has four frame sizes and can combine grommets (one, two or four holes) for cable diameters from 3m to 33m along with a compensation of up to 0.4mm cable diameter tolerance.
