Abstract
Embodiments of a slotted grommet configured to manage a cable in an electrical cavity are provided. The slotted grommet includes a body structure having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a peripheral surface extending between the first and second surfaces. A first slot is formed in the first surface and extends through the body structure towards the second surface. The first slot defines a chamber having sidewalls in the body structure configured to hold a loop of the cable. The first slot has a first width that is less than a cross-sectional dimension of the cable such that the cable is pinched within the chamber between the first sidewalls to prevent vibration-related chafing of the cable.
