icotek presents first 360° Distribution Box 

The new icotek Distribution Box was presented for the first time at the sps 2022 in Nuremberg as a trade fair highlight. The DB Distribution Box is completely splittable and enables 360° cable entry and cable routing. 1 to 15 mm diameter cables with and without plugs are routed, sealed and, at the same time, relieved of strain in accordance with DIN EN 62444. Using multiple or single grommets (icotek KT-DT), up to a maximum of 48 cables can be routed, thus achieving a very high packing density. The cables can be distributed 360° from the central point in almost any desired direction.

Secured cable management made easy

The cable management specialist, icotek presents the new hook-and-loop tape fasteners, KBH-R and KBH-S. The new holders, in combination with the hook-and-loop tape cable tie, offer a versatile alternative to conventional cable ties. The KBH series is used for cable support and cable routing. The new hook-and-loop tape fasteners are now available for numerous mounting profiles. The KBH-R hook-and-loop fasteners are mounted with a simple/tool-free 90° twist lock. Whereas, the KBH-S hook and loop options are mounted with screws.

Routing cables at a 90° angle with IP65 

With the KEL-FG-ER, icotek's tried-and-tested KEL-FG product series now includes protection class IP65. The splittable flange enclosure enables routing cables at a 90° angle and is suitable for cables with and without connectors. Depending on the size, cables with a diameter of 1 to 35 mm (icotek single grommets KT 1 - 34) are routed, sealed with IP65 and, at the same time, strain relief in accordance with DIN EN 62444.

The new generation of tool-free cable entry

The next generation of split cable entry frames for the KT grommet system impresses with its tool-free assembly, high cable density and easy routing of pre-terminated cables. The new split KEL-FA cable entry system from icotek is a compact system for routing and sealing cables with and without connectors, as well as hydraulic and pneumatic hoses. The handling is very easy: After the frame has been assembled with KT type grommets and cables, the cover lid is put on and the two clamping levers are locked with the lower part by pressing them down.
