How is it installed?

Installation typically involves drilling a hole in the roof, feeding the cables through, and securing the entry point using adhesive sealant to create a watertight seal.

What size cables does it support?

Most cable entry glands are compatible with standard solar cable sizes, typically around 4mm to 6mm, depending on the model.
