Cable Grommets are provided and designed for use at both trunk and patch cord entrance points to the enclosure.
GROMMET PREPARATION AND USE
There are several options in configuring the grommets. When patching, it is recommended to cut a channel at the front of the
grommet to easily install patch cords. When routing trunks it may be desired to cut a channel at the rear of the grommet to
allow for grommet removal for adding additional trunk cables. Grommet pass through material can either be slit to limit dust and
water ingress or removed entirely. To configure a grommet, use the following cutting methods:
1) Determine required opening in cable entrance grommet
2) Determine whether slitting or removing material will be performed
3) Using a sharp-edged tool, cut the appropriate opening in using the scored marking lines as shown in Figure 6
4) Optional – cut a channel through the outer wall of the grommet for either trunk or patch cord routing.
