Blanking Plugs
Blanking plugs are used to seal unused cable gland entries, openings, or ports in equipment enclosures, junction boxes, or panels. They protect against dust, moisture, and contaminants, ensuring the integrity and cleanliness of electrical installations.

Electrical projects often involve the use of conduits for routing and protecting cables. However, unused conduit openings can present aesthetic and functional challenges:
Unprofessional Appearance: Exposed openings can detract from the overall finish of your electrical installation.
