Eaton NCGS5117 Solar Cord Grip - IP68, 1-1/2 in
Part Number: NCGS5117
Quick Summary
NCGS5117 is a solar cord grip designed to seal and strain-relieve PV cables in outdoor photovoltaic installations. Users frequently contend with ingress protection and cable movement in harsh outdoor environments, risking electrical faults and downtime. It meets IP68 ingress protection, NEC/CEC standards for PV wiring, and UL certification signals for non-metallic portable cord connectors, enhancing compliance confidence. The nylon construction and eleven-hole entry support 1000V PV cable configurations, while the 1-1/2 inch trade size and accepts #10–#12 AWG wires simplify installation, reduce field adjustments, and lower total cost of ownership over the system life. This combination supports faster commissioning, reduced maintenance, and longer service life for commercial solar projects.

FAQs
NCGS5117 is specifically designed for a 1-1/2 inch trade size and accepts #10 and #12 AWG conductors, making it straightforward to pair with common 1000V PV cable assemblies. The eleven-hole head supports flexible termination options, reducing field rewiring and charge times during commissioning.
IP68 delivers premium ingress protection against dust and water ingress, which translates to lower risk of cable corrosion, reduced maintenance cycles, and higher uptime for outdoor photovoltaic deployments in rain, humidity, or dusty environments.
NEC/CEC compliance ensures PV wiring practices meet regional electrical codes, facilitating permitting and safe operation, while UL certification validates safety for non-metallic portable cord connectors, reducing procurement risk and supporting faster project approvals.
The eleven-hole configuration allows multiple cables to be routed through a single grip, enabling simpler string connections and future expansion. This reduces the number of termination points and speeds up maintenance without sacrificing strain relief or protection.
Ensure proper cable diameter compatibility (7 mm entry) and secure the grip to a correctly sized conduit or enclosure. Use fresh seals and verify IP68 integrity after mechanical stress, periodic re-torqueing as per service guidelines, and inspect for UV or weather-induced wear during routine maintenance.
