Cable Entry Covers

Waterproof Cable Entry Covers for Roofs, Canopies and Decks

Every cable that passes through a caravan roof, aluminium ute canopy or boat deck creates a possible leak point. A purpose-made cable entry cover protects that penetration, seals the cable and gives a neat finish. This range covers solar panel feeds, DC power runs, antenna leads and general wiring in caravan, RV, 4WD, marine, truck and off-grid installations.

Cable Entry Cover Styles

• Clamshell cable entry covers: Low-profile covers in small, medium, large and XL sizes. Choose white, black or stainless steel to suit the roof or canopy finish.
• 1 and 2 gland cable entry boxes: Higher-profile lightweight ABS enclosures in white or black. Built-in glands clamp around each cable as it enters.
• Solar connector cable entry covers: White and black covers suited to bringing solar panel cabling through a roof in a tidy, protected way.
• Multiple gland rubber grommet: A 20mm grommet with two 6mm holes for passing twin cables through a panel or bulkhead.

Clamshell Style

Clamshell covers suit installations where a subtle, streamlined look matters. Place the cover over the cable entry hole and fix it with screws or double-sided tape. Then fill it with silicone for a waterproof finish. The open-ended shape lets the cable sit flat as it leaves the cover, which keeps the profile low on caravan roofs and canopies.

Single or Double Gland Box Style

Gland boxes give you a sturdier enclosure. Each cable passes through its own gland, and the box is fixed with high bond double-sided tape. This style suits installations that need a defined seal around each cable, such as solar positive and negative leads entering a boat deck or roof.

On the cable run up to the cover, split tube conduit protects exposed wiring from abrasion and UV. For a complete solar install checklist, see products you may need with your solar panels.

Cable Entry Cover FAQs

Should I choose a clamshell or a gland box?

Clamshell: Choose this for the lowest profile and a sealant-filled finish. It suits roofs and canopies where appearance and wind exposure matter.

Gland box: Choose this when you want each cable sealed by its own gland. Pick the 1 gland box for a single cable and the 2 gland box for separate positive and negative leads.

Which colour suits my vehicle or boat?

White suits most caravan roofs and boat decks. Black suits dark or powder-coated aluminium canopies. Stainless steel clamshells give a metal finish on canopies and trays.

Which size clamshell do I need?

Match the size to the cable diameter and the number of cables. Use the small size for a single thin lead. Step up to medium, large or XL for thicker DC cables or several cables.

How do I finish cable joins near the entry?

Seal crimped terminals and joins with adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing before the cable enters the cover.

Choose the clamshell or gland style that matches your cable count and roof finish. Then order your cable entry cover to seal the penetration properly on the first install.
