Extremely tested, extremely reliable
Jacob is able to put many products through their paces. In our laboratory, we ensure that our cable entries deliver maximum performance even under extreme conditions. Many of our products are also tested by external bodies and have VDE, UL, DNV and other approvals.
Our tests
- IP protection grade tests: We test whether our cable glands are reliably protected against dust, water and other environmental influences - up to protection grades IPX9 and IP6X. This is how we guarantee that they perform reliably even in challenging environments.
- Impact tests: Our products are subjected to mechanical stresses to test their robustness and durability. Only products that can withstand these impacts leave our laboratory.
- Pull tests: We simulate the pull forces that cable glands can be subjected to while in use in order to guarantee safety for a wide range of applications. With the WADI one cable gland, for example, we achieve significantly higher strain relief results than required by the standard.
- Climate tests: Extreme temperatures, humidity or climate changes - our tests ensure that our cable fittings function even under the most adverse conditions. Our climate chambers can cover temperatures from -70 °C to +300 °C (-94 to +572 °F).
- Customized product tests: Every industry has specific requirements. That's why we offer tests that are precisely tailored to the individual needs of our customers.
