Common Concerns Answered
Will this seal work for cables that are very thin or very thick?
The Scanstrut DS30-P is engineered for optimal performance with cable diameters between 9mm and 14mm (.35"-.55"). While it accommodates a range of sizes, achieving a perfect seal with cables significantly outside this specified range may require custom adaptation or may not be possible without compromising the IP68 rating.

The dome shape is designed to provide impact resistance and an additional water shield, contributing to the seal's functionality. While it offers practical benefits, some users may prefer a flush mount aesthetic, which this particular model does not provide.
How durable is the plastic material in a marine environment?
The Scanstrut DS30-P is constructed from Grey ASA Plastic, a material known for its excellent UV resistance and durability in harsh marine conditions, ensuring long-term performance and integrity of the watertight seal.
