Rated to IP68 at 5 bar pressure, the connector maintains a watertight seal when fully assembled and tightened, making it suitable for garden lighting, pond pumps, outdoor CCTV installations and other exposed low-voltage applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector accepts cable diameters from 5mm to 14mm and is designed for use with H07RNF 3G flexible cable in cross-sections from 0.75mm² to 4.0mm². Each of the three poles uses a nickel-plated copper screw terminal, which resists corrosion in damp conditions and provides a secure mechanical connection to stranded conductors. The connector body is moulded from PA99 material rated to UL94-V0 flame class, with a silicone sealing gasket that compresses when the gland nuts are tightened to form the IP68 seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 85mm long and 32mm diameter when assembled, the connector sits inline on a cable run without needing a separate junction box or surface-mounted enclosure. The assembly is two-part: each end has a cable gland that compresses around the outer sheath of the incoming cable, and the centre section houses the three screw terminals. Once wiring is complete and both glands are tightened, the connector can be buried, submerged or left exposed to weather. The black finish reduces visibility in soil and water.\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\u003e32 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePA99 UL94-V0\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\u003e1\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_1136073_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_942824.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable sizes does it accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector accepts cable outer diameters from 5mm to 14mm and is designed for H07RNF 3G flexible cable in cross-sections from 0.75mm² to 4.0mm².
