A cable grommet is a small, cable management component used to protect and insulate electrical wiring and cables where they pass through a metal panel or a wall. It is designed to provide a tight fit in order to prevent any damage to the wiring and cables. The grommet also works to reduce the chance of electrical shock. Cable grommets provide a neat and organised appearance to any installation whilst protecting cables, wires and hoses from potential damage and threats.
Typically, a cable grommet is round in shape and is made up of two pieces—the inner and outer pieces. The inner piece is fitted into the hole in the metal panel or wall and the outer piece fits over the inner piece, creating a seal. This seal helps keep out dust, dirt and moisture from environmental impacts or simply to provide a secure and firm grip on the wire or cable.
Most cable grommets are defined by the materials from which they are made from.
Rubber Grommets: Usually made from thermoplastic rubber and EPDM are typically used to protect wires and hoses from abrasion and damage.
Plastic Grommets: These are typically made from nylon and PVC.
Metal Grommets: Made from brass, steel or aluminium.
They are commonly used in home and office furniture, computer desks, and audio/visual equipment. They can also be found in applications such as automotive, marine, and industrial applications.
Our range also features a wide selection of accessories such as grommet sleeves – designed to provide extra support and protection to cables passing through panels, and our grommet strip can be cut to your desired length and placed around the circumference of panel holes and edges to assist your application. All grommets and accessories we stock, are made from the highest quality materials.
Cable grommets come in a number of shapes, sizes, colours and materials, so we have put together a few handy guides to help you choose which grommet is best for your project. Check out our guide such as:

Grommet Sleeves provide extra support and protection for cables and wires that are passing through panels.
Grommet strips can be cut to the required length and placed around the circumference of a panel hole or on panel edges. Different packaging options and materials are available.
IP67 Grommets provide a dust and watertight seal. They are suitable for external applications. Acting as a blanking plug until a cable is installed. They can withstand vibrations.
Cable Entry System Grommets are a tool-free entry and connecting technology for machines and equipment. Available in a selection of sizes, most of the range are open and feature a slot and bore. A closed option that does not have a slot and bore is also available. Made from Black TPE TPV, these grommets have an IP65 protection grade. They are suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -30C up to 100C. An accompanying Cable Entry System Plate is available to purchase separately.
Cable Grommet allows multiple cables and wires to pass through, while offering protection from sharp edges. Helps keep cables tidy and organised. Available in a choice of material options, including; UL94 V2 rated natural Nylon 6/6 with a continuous working temperature of 80C or Black Silicone Rubber with a 65 Shore A hardness rating and a continuous working temperature of 180C. All dimensions reflect the product in an installed state.
Suitable for applications where space is limited and flexibility and appearance are important. Quick and easy installation without tools. Dust tight & easy mounting.Suitable for unthreaded holes.
Flip Grommets have self-retaining characteristics thanks to the flanges on their outer face. This allows a quick and secure installation. These part comply with NAS1368-N10D specifications.
Quick Fit Grommets, also known as Open Grommets, snap neatly and quickly into position. These simple Open Rubber Grommets have a beveled edge that allows for quick fit installation, requiring pressure from only one side to easily and quickly secure into a panel.
