Product Overview

A closed rubber cable bushing provides a custom molded interface at a housing opening. The outside profile locates in the receiving feature, while the center must be chosen for the intended closure or wiring arrangement. A closed blanking center should remain intact when the opening is not being used for a cable.

The black finish can suit dark enclosures and wiring, but fit depends on the molded dimensions. Check the opening size, the wall thickness, and the depth available behind the surface. The bushing should not be pushed against an internal bracket or connector that prevents it from seating.

Before installation, clean the opening and remove sharp edges. Work the retaining area into position without cutting the rubber with a tool, then inspect the full perimeter. If the design requires a cable passage, select the correctly formed version and plan how the cable or connector will be fitted. Do not assume that cutting a closed center creates the same retention or sealing behavior as a part designed for that route.

Material options
Custom rubber compound and color, selected for the contact conditions and required geometry.
Hardness range
30–90 Shore A for rubber. Balance insertion flexibility with support around the opening. The outside profile locates in the receiving feature, while the center must be chosen for the intended closure or wiring arrangement.
Custom profile & fit
Check the opening size, the wall thickness, and the depth available behind the surface.
Assembly considerations
The black finish can suit dark enclosures and wiring, but fit depends on the molded dimensions.
Design check
Work the retaining area into position without cutting the rubber with a tool, then inspect the full perimeter.

Photos illustrate structure or material only. If the design requires a cable passage, select the correctly formed version and plan how the cable or connector will be fitted. ETOL directly manufactures custom-shaped silicone and rubber parts to your requirements.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
