Split Cable Routing for Industrial Panels and Assemblies
The Sugatsune antique brass CHC-S18DB cable pass-through grommet is engineered for routing cables through equipment panels, enclosures, work surfaces, and fabricated assemblies where preterminated connectors must pass through a finished opening. Its split construction allows the grommet to separate so larger plugs or connectors can be positioned without removing the connector from the cable. The CHC series is made from zinc die-cast metal, adding to its premium design and making it more durable than plastic grommets.
Engineering Considerations for Panel Integration
This antique brass CHC-S18DB cable grommet measures 18mm, with a panel depth of 16mm. The split feature lets the wire pass through without requiring a larger connector or plug. The CHC series includes diameters of up to 1” (26mm), and Sugatsune offers larger split-design options in the LS-50S-S series. For alternative sizes and configurations, review Sugatsune’s Grommets and Cable Managers. Design teams can also access CAD Files for dimensional modeling and integration into equipment layouts.
Before specifying the antique brass CHC-S18DB cable pass-through grommet, confirm the panel thickness, cutout geometry, cable diameter, connector dimensions, and available clearance. For application-specific guidance, contact Sugatsune America to discuss component selection with a technical representative.
FAQs
What bore size does the CHC-S18DB provide?
The CHC-S18DB requires a 9/16” (14 mm) round cutout. Engineers should verify the cable bundle and connector dimensions against the available opening before completing the panel design.
What panel thickness can the CHC-S18DB accommodate?
The CHC-S18DB sits 16 mm into the panel, as the total part measures 18mm in height with a 2mm bezel that adds a luxury design element. The antique brass CHC-S18DB cable grommet does not require separate mounting fasteners, so accurate cutout preparation is critical to installation.
Why use a split cable grommet for preterminated cables?
A split cable grommet can open around an existing cable and accommodate plugs or connectors that are larger than the cable diameter. This can reduce the need to remove or reconnect connectors during equipment assembly, retrofit work, or maintenance.
