When you are shopping for control cables connectors io, the first decision is whether you need to seal cable entry points or replace a control cable. These two products answer different questions, and their listed prices sit far apart for good reason.
Quick verdict
If your immediate task is waterproofing and strain-relieving several cable entries, the Cable Gland Kit is the practical pick. If you are maintaining a Keyence automation setup and need an OP-87529 control cable, the single Keyence cable is the one that fits that job. Choosing by price alone will not help; choose by what you are wiring.

Where each product wins
Where the cable gland kit wins: it gives you 25 nylon cord grips in one set, so you are not buying one-off connectors for a small wiring job. The IP68-rated nylon construction suits outdoor or damp locations, and the included storage box keeps sizes organized. If your project calls for multiple sealed connections, this kit gets you there faster.
Where the Keyence control cable wins: it is a new, single cable carrying the Keyence brand and the OP-87529 model number, and it is positioned for the Automate controller platform. For a control cable replacement, having the exact model matters more than having several cord grips. This is the option to consider when your task is signal or control wiring on an automated system rather than sealing a junction box.
Product notes
Cable Gland Kit (PG7 to PG16)
This kit bundles 25 nylon cable glands in the five most commonly used sizes: PG7, PG9, PG11, PG13.5, and PG16. The IP68 waterproof rating and screw-in nylon body make it a sensible choice for garden lights, solar panel boxes, home appliances, and similar places where a cable passes through an enclosure. At $11.94, it gives you a full set of cord grips in a storage box, so you have the right size without buying five separate packs. The main limitation is scope: it solves the sealing and strain-relief part of the job, not the cable itself. If your actual problem is connecting a Keyence OP-87529 control cable into an automated system, this gland kit is aimed at a different step.
Keyence OP-87529 Industrial Control Cable
It is a new Keyence OP-87529 industrial control cable, and the item to weigh when your project needs an exact control cable model rather than a general-purpose cord grip. It carries the Keyence brand, the OP-87529 model number, and a country of origin of Japan, and it is positioned for the Automate controller platform. At $190.00, you are paying for one specific industrial control cable, not a multi-pack of connectors. That makes it a poor match if you simply need to seal a few cable entries or organize wiring at a junction box. It is best considered when you are replacing or sourcing the Keyence OP-87529 for an automated control setup and need a new unit with the exact model identifier.
Final choice by use case
- If you need to seal multiple cable entry points on enclosures, junction boxes, garden lights, or solar panel boxes, the Cable Gland Kit is the one to order.
- If you need a Keyence OP-87529 industrial control cable for an automated control system, the single Keyence cable is the correct purchase.
