Are there spare keys for lockable Cepex receptacles?

We are offering a spare lock and a key for our Cepex receptacles. It is not possible to provide a single key.

Are products from MENNEKES resistant to UV radiation?

Structural changes to plastic materials as a result of UV radiation make every type of plastic subject to ageing. Neither MENNEKES nor suppliers of plastic materials can guarantee perfect resistance to UV radiation of plastic materials. We have experienced product lifetimes of 20 years and more with outdoor applications of our products. We are not in a position to specify a minimum service life for our products since they are exposed to a number of different situations during normal use and especially mechanical wear.

Are there spare parts available for products from MENNEKES?

Yes, spare parts are available for all of our products. Tell your contact at MENNEKES the part number of the product for which you need a spare part.

We do not offer pre-assembled cables but we can refer you to businesses that do.

Can I use different brands for data networks?
