AutomationDirect cable entry frames
Cable-entry frame layout for panel wiring interfaces.
In plain English
What does AutomationDirect cable entry frames mean?
A wiring mark tells you how to follow a circuit on a drawing. It may identify a conductor, a joint, a cable group, a boundary or a continuation onto another sheet.
A simple example
Two lines crossing do not always mean they connect. Junction marks, wire labels and source/destination references explain which paths really belong together.
What the drawings help you do
The symbol explains the function and connections; it is not a picture of the physical device. Use the labels and the notes for this particular reference to identify its version. A layout drawing instead needs the selected equipment's real dimensions, mounting details and clearances.
This particular reference
Cable-entry frame layout for panel wiring interfaces. The frame opening is not the sealing diameter of an insert. A preterminated cable also needs connector-passage clearance.
- Terminal
- An identified point where a conductor connects.
- Schematic
- A drawing showing function and connections rather than physical appearance.

What it represents
Choose the frame and the individual inserts as one entry schedule. Reserve cable approach space on the appropriate side of the enclosure wall.
Use the linked manufacturer drawing or project mechanical files for dimensions and the exact selected revision. This original educational illustration is unitless and not to scale.
How to read it
- Separate the panel cut-out from the external frame envelope.
- The frame opening is not the sealing diameter of an insert. A preterminated cable also needs connector-passage clearance.
Information to show or reference
- Schedule frame, inserts and blanking pieces.
- Separate the panel cut-out from the external frame envelope.
- Show cable approach, strain relief and service access.
A distinction that matters
The frame opening is not the sealing diameter of an insert. A preterminated cable also needs connector-passage clearance.
