Submersible connectors for underground reticulation. The GelPort connection system represents a revolutionary product for secondary connectors. Strip the cable and push it into the gel-filled cable port. The cable is encapsulated in PowerGel and instantly sealed. GelPort’s are corrosion resistant, with an impact resistant housing they can withstand rough installations. The gel-filled cable entry ports provide a reliable cable seal. PowerGel sealing gel was specifically developed for the electrical power industry. It is hydrophobic and provides an excellent moisture seal over a wide range of operating temperatures (-40°C to 95°C).
The 7-1201146-7 is is the standard GelPort supplied in pit kits, all other GelPort sizes can be used in TUDS pits.
