Give a thicker cable a protected deck entry.
Scanstrut DS-H10 Cable Seal
Black · 6–10 mm cables
Buyer feedback ↓The DS-H10 routes one cable sideways under a low black cover. It is the larger single-cable choice when the jacket is too thick for the DS-H6.

THE QUICK TAKE
Is it right for you?
This makes sense for a single thicker cable entering a flat deck. The separate rubber inserts let you choose the cable grip while the cover protects the entry from above.
Choose something else for several cables or frequent unplugging. It is a permanent pass-through with a wider footprint than the smaller DS-H6, so check the mounting area and cable route first.
01 / BUYING NOTES
Before you buy.
Match the jacket, not the plug.
The rubber bung seals against the outside of the cable. Choose the correct insert and follow the instructions for routing a cable that already has a connector.
Plan the sideways exit.
The cover directs the cable along the surface. Leave enough slack for its natural bend instead of pulling it tight against the edge.

02 / AMAZON REVIEWS
The buyers’ view.
A roof-light owner liked how the seal kept wiring hidden and found the included grommet choices useful, though they wished the screws were larger. Buyers describe clear instructions, but one reports that missing a piece in the assembly order made installation a headache.

Scanstrut’s larger single-cable seal uses interchangeable inserts and a horizontal exit. A flat mounting surface and the right cable-jacket fit matter more than the size of the cable’s plug.
The exact DS-H10-BLK listing is the black single-entry seal. The housing, inserts and mounting pieces are supplied; the cable shown in installation photos is not.
