A U-shaped grommet strip helps protect cables and wires from sharp panel edges. The U describes the strip's cross-section, which fits over an edge; it does not require the complete panel opening to be U-shaped.
Match the profile to the panel
Check the panel-thickness range, contour and required length. Confirm the allowable bend and retention method for the product. A single profile should not be assumed to fit panels of any thickness.
Check the cable route
Cover the areas where cables could touch the edge and verify that the strip remains seated. Avoid gaps or displaced sections that expose sharp material. Use separate cable support where required by movement or loading.
Select the compound for temperature and fluid exposure. For a custom profile, submit a customer drawing or sample with the dimensions and operating requirements for review.
