Rubber Grommets
Rubber grommets, also known as cable grommets or electrical grommets, are essential protective components designed to shield cables, wires, and pipes when passing through holes in panels, walls, or machinery. These versatile rubber sealing products prevent damage from sharp edges, provide strain relief, and protect electrical installations from dust, moisture, and environmental factors. Widely used across the UK's electrical, automotive, marine, construction and telecommunications industries, cable grommets offer reliable cable protection solutions for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Our comprehensive range of rubber grommets includes open designs for easy cable threading, closed versions for hole blanking, quick-fit options for rapid installation, and IP67-rated sealing grommets for demanding environmental conditions. The primary benefit of using high-quality cable grommets is their ability to extend cable life by preventing chafing, cuts, and weathering whilst maintaining professional installations that comply with UK electrical guidelines and building regulations.

- EPDM rubber grommets - excellent temperature resistance (-40°C to +125°C) and weather resistance
