Abstract
A cable lead-through is disclosed for a switch cabinet, electric cabinet or the like. In at least one embodiment, the cable lead-through is formed of two substantially identical lead-through halves. The lead-through halves are held together by way of two clamping devices. By placing the clamping devices in grooves of the lead-through halves, the cable lead-through is held together.
Claims20
A cable lead-through, comprising:
- two substantially identical lead-through halves, each including an outer surface;
- an inner surface opposite the outer surface;
- a contact surface perpendicular to the outer surface and the inner surface, the contact surfaces being configured to receive a cable therebetween and configured to abut one another when the two substantially identical lead-through halves are joined thereby forming the cable lead-through, whereby the outer surface and the inner surface respectively form an outer side and an inner side of the cable lead-through device;
- at least one groove formed on the inner surface;
- and
- two clamping devices, configured to hold the two substantially identical lead-through halves together, each of the two clamping devices being insertable into the at least one groove from the inner surface of the two substantially identical lead-through halves, wherein the inner side of the cable lead-through device is configured to directly contact a mounting surface to which the cable lead-through device is to be attached.

Method involving a cable lead-through, comprising:
- placing clamps in retaining grooves of two lead-through halves to hold the lead-through together during storing and transportation, the clamps then being removed from the retaining grooves of two lead-through halves and the lead-through halves being separated from each other, wherein after dimensions of openings receiving cables are adapted to a diameter of the cables by pealing off a suitable number of peelable sheets of the openings, the lead-through halves are then brought together and the clamps are placed in locking grooves of the lead-through halves;
- and
- fixing the cable lead-through to a cabinet.
Method involving a cable lead-through, comprising:
- removing clamps from the retaining grooves of two lead-through halves, the clamps being usable to hold the cable lead-through together during storing and transportation, and separating the lead-through halves from each other;
- bringing the lead-through halves together, after dimensions of openings receiving cables are adapted to a diameter of the cables by pealing off a suitable number of peelable sheets of the openings, and placing the clamps in locking grooves of the lead-through halves;
- and
- fixing the cable lead-through to a cabinet.
