Open/Closed Bushes
Our Open/Closed Bushes or 'Split Cable Bushings' are a popular product manufactured from a UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6 which guarantees a level of flammability. As you may have guessed from the name, these Snap Fit Bushes feature a 'split' design that enables it to be opened or closed before being fixed into a panel hole, allowing it to fit a range of cable diameters.
