Common Concerns Answered
Some users reported difficulty cutting precise holes.
Achieving optimal watertightness relies on accurately drilling the specified hole diameter for your cables. We recommend using a sharp hole saw and measuring carefully before cutting.
Users sometimes wish for more internal space for complex cable bundles.
While designed for efficient space utilization, this seal accommodates various cable diameter combinations. For exceptionally large or complex bundles, consider if multiple single-cable seals might be a more suitable configuration.
Initial cost seems high compared to simpler sealing methods.
The Scanstrut Horizontal Double Cable Seal provides a guaranteed IP68 watertight installation, eliminating potential water damage and costly repairs associated with less robust solutions, offering long-term value and peace of mind.
