Wire rubber grommets help reduce abrasion at a suitable cable opening. Select the part for the panel, cable and service conditions rather than assuming one type can be used anywhere.
Check the mounting dimensions, panel thickness and cable passage. Consider repeated cable movement and provide appropriate support so the grommet is not pulled out or the cable sharply bent.
Rubber compounds differ in temperature and chemical resistance. Identify the relevant exposures and check the selected grade. Inspect the installed part and cable during service; a grommet does not eliminate every source of wear or damage.
