The Multigate grommet plate enables several cables or pipes to be sealed in indoor or outdoor cabinet housings and provides complete protection against dust and spraying water.
The Multigate grommet plate enables several cables or pipes to be sealed in indoor or outdoor cabinet housings and provides complete protection against dust and spraying water.
Multigate is suited for use in electrical applications including, control cabinet wiring, switchgear enclosures and fuseboxes.
Multigate is an IP gasket consisting of a steel cable gland plate encapsulated in thermoplastic rubber, with several preprepared cable grommets.
The product's unique feature is that it seals several cables or pipes through one aperture in the cabinet housing.
Multigate requires fewer parts to be used so the component inventory can be reduced and is an ideal solution for space-restricted environments.
Furthermore, as only one aperture is required instead of many individual holes, cabinet production can be simplified and the time taken to install cables/pipes reduced.
Available in black, white or grey, Multigate comes in three standard formats capable of accommodating up to 35 cables or pipes with diameters ranging from 5 to 32mm and is designed to fit a C-standard aperture (FL21).
Black versions of Multigate are also available with a UL94V0 flammability rating.
The product meets IP enclosure classes up to IP65 without having to use any separate gaskets or glands and can be installed using conventional screws or by using Heyco's polycarbonate drive rivet designed for use with the Multigate.
"The Multigate grommet plate is a welcome addition to Heyco's catalogue of more than 10,000 plastic components".
"The unique design features offer simplicity and benefits in terms of time and cost savings and makes the Multigate an ideal choice for all electrical cable or pipe applications", comments Andrew Fletcher, Technical Director, Heyco.
Multigate has been inspected and certified by Lloyd's Register of shipping for marine and offshore cable installations and FIMKO, the Finnish authority in charge of electrical equipment safety standards for use in installation boxes, public distribution networks and distribution boards.
