The Purpose of a Grommet
CableOrganizer.com Tip: Wire management grommets are small round hollow objects designed to guide and cushion wire and cable. They efficiently organize all types of wires, from phone to computer to printer cable wires. There are many different kinds of grommets. Rubber grommets can protect your cables from being ruined or damaged by sharp edges. Rack mountable grommets allow users to access unplugged cables without having to get on the floor and crawl behind furniture. Here is an explanation of some types of grommets, courtesy of cableorganizer.com:
- Round desk grommets: feed wires neatly away from desktops and work surfaces
- Large rubber grommets: protect or cover through holes with rough edges. The rubber grommet can shield the wire or other material from any damage and also gives a clean look to any professional wire or cable installation
- Phone and fax grommet: made from a durable molded plastic and ideal for organizing phone and fax cables because of it's smaller size
- Desk grommets: popular in most offices because it gets your wires and cables off your desk
- Office storage grommet: has four compartments that provide space for sticky notes, pencils, scissors, and other office supplies.
