Compact Plastic Submersible Cord Grips

These grips are sized to fit in tight areas. They are rated IP68 and 69K for protection from continuous submersion and high-pressure, high-temperature jets of water. They are also rated NEMA 4X, 6, and 12 for indoor and outdoor protection against corrosion, water projected from a hose, and dripping oils and lubricants. A rubber bushing and O-ring create a tight seal to prevent liquid from entering the connection. For the strongest hold and most secure seal around a cord, select cord grips with the smallest cord OD range that will work with your cord.

Wraparound Plastic Submersible Cord Grips

Wrap the split gland of these grips around ethernet cables with an RJ45 connector or other already installed cables for a water-resistant seal with your enclosure. They’re rated IP68 and NEMA 6P, so they withstand use under water and protect electronics inside enclosures from moisture and harsh chemicals. All are made of nylon, making them corrosion and wear resistant. They relieve the strain on a cable when its pulled, extending the life of the cable.

When choosing a size, keep in mind that the sealing nut ID and body ID must be large enough for the end of your cord to fit through with the connector.
