Abstract
The present disclosure describes a grommet. The grommet includes a slot extending the length of a main body which provides an entry point for a cable to be inserted into an interior cavity, a plurality of flex retention members extending into the interior cavity configured to grip and secure the cable, and one or more grip enhancement features residing between an inner surface of the main body and the flex retention members. The grip enhancement features are configured to provide additional support to the flex retention members when a cable is inserted into the interior cavity. The grip enhancement features are coupled to or integral with a respective flex retention member and extend radially outwardly therefrom, and each grip enhancement feature is configured to engage or contact the inner surface of the main body when a larger diameter cable is received within the interior cavity of the grommet.
