Scanstrut Double Horizontal Cable Seal DS-HD10-BLK

Scanstrut DS-HD10-BLK is a black double horizontal cable seal designed to route and weatherproof two horizontal cables where they pass through decks or bulkheads. The Scanstrut DS-HD10-BLK combines a low-profile footprint with durable materials to protect cable runs from water ingress, abrasion and vibration on boats and marine craft. Purpose-built for horizontal cable routing, this compact gland fits into common deck cutouts and is finished in matte black to reduce glare and blend with contemporary boat decks. It’s engineered to give a tidy, sealed transition for paired cables while resisting UV and salt corrosion.

How does this double horizontal cable seal keep water out?

The DS-HD10-BLK uses a compressible rubber insert inside a rigid frame to form a watertight barrier around each cable. When tightened, the insert conforms to the cable shapes, creating multiple sealing surfaces that block water entry.

• Dual sealing channels for two cables
• Elastomeric insert that compresses to fit cable diameters
• Rigid outer housing to hold seal compression uniformly
• Corrosion-resistant hardware for long-term exposure to saltwater

Which cable sizes and configurations will it accept?

The gland accommodates most common marine cable diameters used for power, signal and data when paired side-by-side. It’s optimized for two horizontal runs and works well with insulated and jacketed marine cables.

• Suitable for a range of typical marine cable diameters
• Designed specifically for two cables routed horizontally
• Insert material adapts to slight size differences between cables
• Flush, low-profile design reduces snagging and visual clutter

How easy is it to install and maintain?

Installation is straightforward: cut the specified deck opening, drop the gland into place and secure with the supplied fasteners. Periodic inspection and cleaning of the seal surface is usually sufficient to maintain performance.

• Simple deck or bulkhead cutout and through-bolting
• Replaceable rubber insert if wear occurs over time
• No special adhesives required—mechanical compression creates the seal
• Minimal routine maintenance: rinse and inspect seal integrity

Why choose the black DS-HD10-BLK over other glands?

This black version is chosen when a discrete, glare-free finish and coordinated appearance matter. Scanstrut’s reputation for marine-grade materials and precise fit makes it a reliable option for boatbuilders, retrofitters and DIY installers alike.

• Matte black finish reduces reflections on deck surfaces
• Compact footprint suits modern deck layouts and tight spaces
• Industry-tested construction for marine environments
• Specifically designed for paired horizontal cable routing

This gland is ideal for boat owners, marine electricians, and boatbuilders who need a neat, weatherproof solution for two side-by-side horizontal cables. Choose the DS-HD10-BLK when you want a discreet black finish, straightforward installation and dependable protection against moisture and wear on deck or bulkhead penetrations. For unusual cable sizes or high-volume installations, check cable diameters against the product’s sealing range or consult a marine technician for compatibility guidance.

FAQ

Q: Can this gland handle both power and data cables together?

A: Yes. The DS-HD10-BLK accepts common insulated power and data cables side-by-side, provided diameters fall within its sealing range.

Q: Is the rubber insert replaceable if it wears out?

A: Yes. The elastomeric insert is serviceable and can be replaced to restore sealing performance.
