Common Concerns Answered
Is the Blue Sea CableClam suitable for use below the waterline?

What if my cables are slightly thicker than the stated maximum diameter?
The maximum cable diameter is 0.44 inches (11.18 mm). For cables exceeding this specification, alternative larger diameter cable glands or multiple smaller pass-throughs may be required. It is crucial to consult the product's precise specifications for accurate fitment.
Are there other options if I need a cable pass-through for underwater applications?
Yes, for below-waterline applications, you would need to consider specialized marine-grade watertight cable glands specifically designed for submerged use to ensure proper sealing and safety.
