Why Choose the ILME CAO10X C-TYPE Hood?
The ILME CAO10X, also identified as CAO 10 X, is a robust heavy-duty industrial connector hood from the ILME C-TYPE enclosure series. Designed for size 57.27 connector assemblies, it features two locking levers and a Pg21 side cable entry, providing a secure and practical enclosure for compatible ILME connector inserts used in machinery, automation and industrial electrical systems.
The CAO10X uses a high-construction hood design to provide additional space for cable termination and routing within the connector assembly. Its two locking levers incorporate stainless steel and polyamide components for reliable mechanical retention, while the side-entry configuration allows cables to approach the connector parallel to the mounting surface where installation space or cable routing makes this preferable to a top-entry hood.
With IP65, IP66 and IP69 protection ratings when correctly assembled and an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C, the CAO10X is suitable for demanding industrial environments. The hood is supplied without a gasket and is designed for use with compatible ILME heavy-duty connector components.

Reliable Side-Entry Protection for Industrial Connections
Heavy-duty connector hoods protect electrical connector inserts and cable terminations while providing a secure cable interface for machinery and industrial equipment. The ILME CAO10X combines a high-construction enclosure with a Pg21 side cable entry, making it particularly useful where cables need to run alongside equipment rather than extending vertically from the connector.
The two-lever closing arrangement provides secure mating with compatible ILME connector components, while the IP65, IP66 and IP69 ratings support use in environments exposed to dust, moisture and intensive cleaning when the complete connector assembly is correctly configured and installed.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and control systems.
- Electrical and electronic equipment connections.
- Manufacturing and assembly machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Heavy-duty industrial connector assemblies requiring side cable entry.
