Complete solutions for cable entry systems
You can choose from different types of cable entry systems: grommets (different materials), standard cable glands (metallic or non-metallic) and modular cable entry systems (frames, plates…).
Rubber grommets
Grommets are generally flared or collared on each side to keep them in place and are often made of metal, plastic or rubber. They may be used to prevent tearing or abrasion of the pierced material or protection from abrasion of the insulation on the wire, cable, line being routed through the penetration and to cover sharp edges of the piercing, or all of the above.
We offer the following types:
-
grommets of various shapes,
-
membrane cable glands and grommets,
-
reinforced cable glands,
-
grommets with cable grip,
-
protection of holes in sheet metal,
-
covering elements,
-
nogice,
-
flanges,
-
special designs.
They are used for sealing, preventing the wear of cable insulation, and covering sharp edges in cutouts.
SES Sterling with many years of experience and knowledge in this field makes specific solutions for a wide variety of applications.

Installation cable glands
Cable glands are mechanical cable entry devices that can be made of metallic or non-metallic materials. They are used throughout several industries in conjunction with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems. They work as sealing and termination devices to ensure that the characteristics of enclosures which the cables enter can be maintained adequately.
Our main partner for cable glands is Agro AG, a leading international supplier of cable glands. Agro AG manufactures cutting edge products and custom-made solutions as well as services for electrical installations and industrial applications.
For general installations and light industry use, we offer different Syntec series of cable glands and accessories.
Syntec® nickel-plated brass cable glands with lamellar technology are part of AGRO extensive range of solutions for rugged, secure cable insertion. Thanks to the patented lamellar geometry of Syntec® cable glands, it is possible to insert different diameters of cable in the same cable gland easily, flexibly and with a good seal. Syntec® cable glands by AGRO are recommended as a secure solution for everyday use.
SYNTEC cable glands features:
-
lamellar sealing system,
-
metal or plastic,
-
with short or long entry thread,
-
TPE sealing ring with good chemical resistance,
-
standard or reducing sealing rings,
-
strain relief and anti-torsion device
-
protection class IP68,
-
tested to EN 50262 (metric types),
-
halogen free,
-
self-extinguishing plastic parts.

Industrial cable glands
Cable glands are mechanical cable entry devices that can be made of metallic or non-metallic materials. They are used throughout several industries in conjunction with cable and wiring used in electrical instrumentation and automation systems. They work as sealing and termination devices to ensure that the characteristics of enclosures which the cables enter can be maintained adequately. Cable glands may be used on all types of electrical power, control, instrumentation, data, and telecommunications cables as well as pneumatic and other hoses and protective conduits.
Our main partner for cable glands is Agro AG, a leading international supplier of cable glands. Agro AG manufactures cutting edge products and custom-made solutions as well as services for electrical installations and industrial applications.
The Progress® series compression cable glands are proven to be the most reliable on the market. With the right choice, these cable glands can be used anywhere. The outstanding compression technology guarantees an effective seal and excellent protection of installations against all environmental impacts.
We offer different types of cable glands and complementary products:
-
metallic and plastic cable glands for standard and Ex applications,
-
EMC cable glands,
-
pressure balance elements,
-
reducers and adapters.
Main advantages of Agro AG Progress® cable glands:
-
Short, long or special entry thread: cable glands Progress® with short or long entry thread designed as metric, PG, imperial or NPT can be used with existing opening threads or with a counter nut.
-
Visible safety: the small bead in the sealing insert confirms the correct tightening torque.
-
High distortion protection: the integrated retaining grooves in the lower part and in the sealing insert grant against twisting.
-
Great flexibility: it only takes a few seconds to adapt the two-part sealing inserts on site to the existing cable diameters.
-
Guaranteed seal: inner contours matched to the sealing insert ensure a targeted deformation of the insert and thus guarantee its tightness in compliance with protection class IP68 up to 10 bar and IP 69K for a wide range of applications.
AGRO Progress® metal cable glands equipped with sealing inserts made of a special TPE are certified according to EN 45545 and can be used with confidence for any rolling stock application.

Split cable entry systems for cables with connectors
We offer modular cable entry solutions for entering pre-terminated cables, special-shaped cables, and large amounts of cables in confined spaces.
Our main partner for cable entry systems is Icotek, highly innovative leader in cable entry solutions.
The basic product group is cable entry system KEL for entering cables with connectors and sealing ready – connected applications. It consists of a split frame and several slit cable grommets. During the assembly, the slit grommet matching the cable diameter is placed around the cable and inserted into the frame. The grommet is now securely fixed inside the frame and cannot fall out. Once the lid is fixed to the base frame, it is compressed and tightly sealed. The high compression pressure ensures strain relief according to EN 62444 and certified sealing rates up to IP66.
The Icotek cable entry systems comply with important approvals and standards like flame class UL94-V0, IP rated protection, UL, NEMA, German Lloyd, ECOLAB detergent resistance or the European railway standard EN 45545-2 for fire safety and are therefore suitable for various industries.

Cable entry plates for cables without connectors
Our main partners for cable entry systems are SES Sterling and Icotek.
With the membrane - based cable entry plates, standard cables with diameters from 1,5 to 22 mm can be quickly routed into control cabinets, panels or machines and be sealed with certified protection class up to IP68.
In comparison to traditional solutions such as standard cable glands the cable density is greatly increased. This, combined with a reduction of required space make the Icotek solution a great choice.
The cable entry plates consist of a robust hard frame made of plastic or metal which is completely moulded with elastomer. At the plate front there are pierceable membranes for various cable diameters, on the back there are conical cable sleeves to ensure a double sealing of the cables. This unique grommet design also provides a good strain relief.
The assembly of the cable entry plates can be done within seconds. Simply put a small slit into the thin membrane and push the cable through.

Cable entry frames and plates with fire penetration seals
Cable entry frames with fire penetration seals meet the standards EN 45545-2, EN 45545-3 and EN 1363-1. The intumescent (foaming) IFSP fire penetration seals create a barrier which prevents a penetration of flames and high heat from one room into another for the longest possible period.
They are distinguished mainly by:
-
easy assembly,
-
high cable density,
-
ingress protection up to IP66 / UL Type 4X
-
large product variety.

Syntec® facade and window feedthrough
Manufacturer Agro AG developed an innovative solution for modern facade feedthrough. They enable quick installation and passage of cables through the external walls of buildings. At the same time, they ensure adequate sealing and prevent the formation of thermal bridges.
The use of Syntec® facade feedthrough enables electrical equipment (window blinds and shades, lighting and monitoring systems, sensors of any sort) to be easily connected to the building’s internal cable network without heat loss or moisture intrusion. Since they are combined with protective pipes, the length of the passage is arbitrary.
Benefits of Syntec®facade feedthrough:
-
Flexible, quick and easy facade feedthrough,
-
Excelent sealing,
-
Replacement of cables is quick and easy.
