Our Open/Closed Bushes, also known as Split Cable Bushings, are a practical cable management solution designed to insulate, protect, and support cables passing through panel holes. These bushes feature a versatile split design that allows easy installation around pre-installed or bulky cables, making them ideal for electrical panels, enclosures, and machinery.

What are Open/Closed Bushes?

Open/Closed Bushes are specially designed cable bushings made from UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6, a flame-retardant material that ensures safety and durability in electrical applications. The term "open/closed" refers to their split-body design, which enables the bush to be opened and wrapped around a cable before snapping securely into a panel hole. This makes them highly adaptable for use with varying cable diameters and installation situations where cables are already in place. Multiple locking steps on the bushing ensure a tight fit across a range of panel thicknesses, making them ideal for both OEM and retrofit applications.

Key Features:

• Manufactured from flame-retardant Nylon 6/6 (UL94V-2 rated)
• Split design allows installation without disconnecting cables
• Suitable for a range of cable diameters and panel thicknesses
• Secure snap-fit into panel holes for quick and reliable assembly
• Multiple locking steps accommodate different panel thicknesses
• Available in hole sizes from 7mm to 63.5mm
