Cable grommets. A cable grommet is a tube or ring through which an electrical cable passes. They are usually made of rubber or metal. [1]The grommet is usually inserted in holes in certain materials in order to protect, improve friction or seal cables passing through it, from a possible mechanical or chemical attack.
Tight fitting rubber grommets can also prevent the entry of dirt, air, water, etc. [6] The smooth and sometimes soft inner surface of the grommet shields the wire from damage. [6] Grommets are generally used whenever wires pass through punched or drilled sheet metal or plastic casings for this reason. [6]
For routing of standard cables and other electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic lines through machine, panel or enclosure walls, cable glands, self-sealing grommets or gland plates can be used to seal the cut-outs required for passing the cables through. This protects the inside of an enclosure or machine from dirt, dust or liquids.
These cable glands consist of three parts (two gland halves and a split sealing grommet) which are screwed with a hexagonal locknut (like normal cable glands). Thus, pre-assembled cables can be routed without removing the plugs. Split cable glands can reach an ingress protection of up to IP66/IP68 and NEMA 4X.
