Also known as cable strain relief bushings, cord‑grip bushings, or electrical cord strain relief grommets, these essential components protect cables and wires from pull, twist and abrasion. Widely used by both consumers and professionals, they're vital in electrical installations, enclosures, appliances, machinery and data systems.

Available in a wide range of types — straight‑through, right‑angle, bell‑mouth, flex‑protect and liquid‑tight — our bushings accommodate round and flat cables and fit standard and non‑round holes. Made from robust nylon, they come in multiple sizes, with black or white colour options. There are also panel‑mount configurations to suit diverse applications. Customers may also be interested in our cable glands, and liquid tight plugs.

Key Features & Benefits

• Secure cable anchorage: Our Lock‑it finger‑locking design prevents cable rotation and pull‑out.
• Pre‑assembly ease: Liquid‑tight variants can be pre‑fitted to cables, with low‑profile, smooth edges for fast installation.
• Certified safety: Many meet UL94‑V2 flammability, IP rated liquid‑tighting and Underwriters' approvals.
• Material durability: Manufactured in nylon 6/6, they resist impact, abrasion, chemicals and temperature extremes (–20°C to +100°C).
• Tool‑free fit: Snap‑in, snap‑over hinged, or Lock‑it bushings click into place with fingertip pressure, reducing assembly time and cost.
