The connector handles 16A at 450V and accepts cable diameters from 5mm to 12mm through M22 cable glands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector pair allows outdoor cables to be extended or repaired without exposing live terminals to moisture. Both plug and socket use screw-fix terminals with silver-plated copper contacts inside a polycarbonate and PA66 casing, sealed with silicone gaskets. Once mated and the cable glands tightened, the assembly provides continuous IP68 protection even when fully submerged, making it suitable for pond lighting, underwater pumps, and outdoor fixtures in areas prone to flooding or heavy rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24mm diameter and 94mm overall length of each connector allows it to be buried in conduit or left exposed in outdoor applications. The black PA66 V-0 rated casing resists UV degradation and maintains integrity in temperatures from -25°C to +60°C. Each connector is certified to EN 62444 and designed for use with H07RNF 3G cable from 0.75mm² to 2.5mm² cross-section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePA66 V-0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026amp; silicone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP68\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_2075765_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_942834.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does IP68 at 2 bar mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP68 is the highest standard ingress protection rating for dust and water.
