✦ Synopsis

Peelable grommet seals arrange of sizes
Parker purchases French EMI shielding supplier

AFL Telecommunications has introduced a new Peel & Seal

Grommet System, which it claims has passed stringent qualification tests and is now ready for the OSP telecommunications market.

Each grommet is designed to accommodate several cable diameters. There are a number of separated thin layers of material working toward the core of the grommet. The installer determines how many layers of material to peel away from the core that will give the best fit on a cable diameter for a seal. This can be determined with a diameter-tape measuring tool. By wrapping the tape around the cable, the installers will be able to view markings that will direct them towards peeling away the proper number of layers from the grommet. The grommet is then placed around the cable and installed in its seat. Once the bolts are tightened via the pillow blocks, the cable is sealed.
