What are the requirements regarding number of cables entering a panel (per entrance). Five cables were jammed in this single entrance.

Victor,
Thanks. Have a good weekend.

Matthew,

You might also find that the clamps are designed for 1-2 cables.

The actual requirements are part of the listing, and printed on the box the connectors came in.

The pattern seems to be that the connectors are listed to hold either one round, or two flat, cables.
