Features and construction details

Material and finish

The cable gland is made of chromed brass. The choice of material and finish makes it suitable for installations where a robust component with a clean appearance is desired, consistent with typical deck and underdeck hardware.

Function: cable passage below deck

The main function is to create a passage point for cables through a bulkhead or surface, with a design intended for use below deck. It is a useful solution when you want to avoid improvised passages and maintain a neater and more controlled installation.

Passage size

• Passage: 8 mm
• Product code: 14.186.00
• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.

Typical applications in nautical and plant engineering

This cable gland is suitable for installations where cables must pass through a surface in a neater and protected way, typically in contexts of onboard systems. Some examples of use:

• Cable passage below deck between technical compartments and service areas.
• Routing of wiring towards panels, boards or utilities (depending on the setup).
• Localized maintenance or refitting, when existing wiring is replaced or reorganized.
• Creation of dedicated crossing points to avoid rubbing on unfinished edges or holes.

In general, it is an accessory suitable for those who want a specific solution for cable passage, with a hardware component consistent with the nautical environment.

Operational advantages

Neater installation

A dedicated cable gland helps to organize the cable routing and make the system more readable during inspections and subsequent interventions. Neat routing also facilitates the identification of wiring and the management of changes over time.

Finish suitable for onboard hardware

The’chromed brass offers a finish typically used on hardware components, useful when you want to maintain aesthetic and functional uniformity with other elements installed on board.

Usage and notes for selection

Wiring check before purchase

Before choosing the cable gland, it is good practice to check:

• the overall diameter of the cable bundle (considering sheaths or protections);
• the available space and the intended crossing point;
• the possible need for a variant with a different passage within the same series.

Consistency with below-deck installation

The product is described as intended for cable passage below deck: to achieve a clean and functional result, it is advisable to plan the cable route and provide a dedicated crossing point, avoiding excessive bends or passages in unsuitable areas.
