FAQs
Begin by confirming the enclosure is a VX type with a 600 mm width. Remove any existing gland plates, align the EMC gland plate and sliding plate, insert the EMC seals, and secure using standard gland plate fasteners. The kit includes one gland plate with T-head punching, one sliding gland plate, and two EMC seals to simplify installation and ensure a proper shielded connection.
The gland plate is designed for shielded cables with a maximum diameter of 20 mm. It combines EMC contacting with cable fastening to provide a low-resistance contact between the cable shield and the gland plate, improving EMI integrity and reducing leakage paths in the enclosure.
Yes. The VX 8618.820 is specified to fit all 400, 500, 600 and 800 mm deep VX enclosures when used with standard gland plates, delivering consistent EMC performance across the common VX depth range.
The product note indicates that standard IP protection category is not supported. Plan your installation accordingly for environments requiring IP-rated protection, and rely on EMC sealing and shield contact to manage EMI, while ensuring enclosure suitability and any additional protective enclosures or housings as needed.
Using the gland plate reduces EMI risks and improves cable management, leading to more reliable operation of shielded cabling, faster assembly with included components, and lower maintenance costs. The solution integrates with existing VX gland plate systems, supports 600 mm width enclosures, and comes as a compact 2 kg pack for efficient logistics.
