Cable-entry frame layout for panel wiring interfaces.

## In plain English

### What it does

A cable gland or entry system secures and seals the place where cables enter an enclosure, according to the selected product's design.

### A simple example

In a substation marshalling cabinet, it provides an organised cable entry through the enclosure wall or gland plate.

### What the drawings help you do

Use the selected manufacturer's drawings to check the equipment's size, mounting points and cable connections. The layout helps you plan where it fits and how it can be reached for maintenance. An illustrative 3D preview does not establish product dimensions or required clearances.

### Terms

- 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.

## Important distinction

The frame opening is not the sealing diameter of an insert. A preterminated cable also needs connector-passage clearance.
