Refined Cable Routing for Equipment and Finished Surfaces
Sugatsune America’s split cable grommet, gold-plated CHC-S18GC, creates a compact, finished cable passage for machinery panels, desks, cabinetry, display fixtures, and integrated assemblies. Its split opening separates around an existing cable, allowing larger plugs or pre-terminated connectors to remain attached during installation. Once reassembled, the grommet forms a defined interface between the cable and the panel opening.
Manufactured from zinc alloy and boasting a gold-plated finish, the CHC-S18GC provides a durable metal alternative to plastic cable-routing components. It measures 11/16” (18 mm) high and 11/16” (18 mm) in diameter, with a 9/16” (14 mm) round bore that provides a ½” (12 mm) diameter opening for wires. The grommet will work in desktops and other panels that sport a minimum thickness of ⅝” (16mm). s.
Technical Fit for Industrial Equipment
As a gold-plated equipment CHC-S18GC cable grommet, this component will add style to control cabinets, machine interfaces, laboratory casework, office systems, and specialized equipment where cables are terminated and pass through finished panels. The split construction can simplify retrofits and servicing because technicians do not need to remove the cable connector to install or replace the grommet.
Architectural Detail With a Gold-Plated Finish
For architectural and furniture applications, the CHC-S18GC functions as a gold-plated cable pass-through grommet for premium millwork, reception desks, hospitality casework, executive furniture, retail displays, and visible technology surfaces. The metallic finish creates a more intentional transition than an unfinished opening while reducing direct contact between the cable and the cut panel edge.
The CHC-S18GC is RoHS 3 compliant, and two-dimensional and three-dimensional CAD resources are available for panel detailing, opening coordination, and clearance verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the CHC-S18GC be installed around a cable with a molded plug?
Yes. The split body opens around the cable, so the molded plug does not need to pass through the 9/16” (14 mm) bore. Confirm that the cable itself fits the bore and that sufficient access remains for reassembling the two sections.
What is the maximum completed panel thickness the CHC-S18GC can accommodate?
The minimum panel thickness is 5/8” (16 mm), including laminates, veneers, metal skins, and other applied finishes when calculating the completed panel thickness.
Where is the gold-plated finish most appropriate?
The finish is suitable where cable management must coordinate with visible architectural hardware, decorative millwork, or premium equipment finishes. Final suitability should reflect the surrounding materials, environmental exposure, maintenance requirements, and expected handling.
