The connector joins three cables via screw-fix terminals inside a sealed black housing, allowing repairs, extensions and junction points in garden lighting, pond pumps, outdoor security systems and other weatherproof circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for permanent outdoor installation, the connector accepts cable diameters from 5mm to 14mm and is compatible with H07RNF 3G cable from 0.75mm² to 4.0mm² cross-section. The housing is manufactured from PA99 UL94-V0 flame-retardant nylon with silicon sealing gaskets around each cable entry point, preventing water ingress when the glands are correctly tightened. The copper terminals are nickel-plated to resist corrosion in damp environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three cable entries sit at equal angles around the central junction chamber, creating a T-junction configuration where one supply cable feeds two outgoing cables, or a straight-through junction where three cables meet at a common point. Each gland screws down independently to compress the silicon gasket against the cable sheath, creating the IP68 seal. The housing measures 82mm wide by 94mm long and sits 32mm high when assembled.\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\u003e94 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82 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\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_1136080_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_942826.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 mean for this connector?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIP68 means the connector is dust-tight and protected against continuous submersion in water. This specific connector is tested to 2 bar pressure, equivalent to approximately 20 metres depth, though most garden and pond installations sit well below this threshold.\u003c\/p\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 minimum to 14mm maximum. It is compatible with H07RNF 3G cable from 0.75mm² to 4.0mm² conductor cross-section, which covers most outdoor lighting and garden equipment cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the waterproof seal created?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach cable entry has a threaded gland that screws down to compress a silicon gasket around the cable sheath. The seal only works if the gland is tightened correctly and the cable outer diameter sits within the 5-14mm range — cables that are too thin will not seal properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be used for mains voltage outdoor lighting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The connector is rated 16A at 450V and certified to EN 50262, making it suitable for 230V mains circuits. It is commonly used for garden lighting, outdoor socket extensions, pond pumps and security lighting where a weatherproof junction is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightsbridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45293892993291,"sku":"JB003","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/8567_13ec8159-0de2-4ff9-be7c-116bbd6b2def.jpg?v=1714665665","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/ip68-16a-3-way-cable-connector-3-pole-black","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
