Product Information

Full details

This Kenable clear plastic hole tidy is designed for installers who need to neatly route twin coaxial cables, such as Sky+ or CCTV shotgun cables, through a wall. Its key benefit is providing a clean, finished look to cable installations. A primary consideration is that the hole entry size is fixed at 13mm x 7mm, meaning cables thicker than this dimension will not fit.

FAQs

What type of cables is this hole tidy designed for?

It is specifically designed for twin coaxial cables, such as those used for Sky+ (RG6 twin) or CCTV installations (RG59 shotgun cable), where the combined outer diameter fits within the 13mm x 7mm entry.

What is the exact size of the cable entry?

The hole entry size is precisely 13mm in width and 7mm in height.

Can I use this for single Ethernet cables?

No, this grommet is shaped and sized for twin round cables, not flat or single round cables like Ethernet.

What is the overall length of the grommet?

The total length from the front face to the back is approximately 30mm.

Does this grommet offer any weatherproofing?

No, this is a basic plastic hole tidy designed for internal or protected external use. It does not provide a seal against water or dust.

How do I clean the plastic hole tidy?

You can clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What material is the hole tidy made from?

It is made from clear plastic.

Troubleshooting

Grommet does not fit securely in the wall.

The drilled hole may be too large. Consider using a suitable adhesive or filler if a perfect fit cannot be achieved, or re-drilling a smaller hole if possible.

Twin cables are too thick to fit through the entry.

This grommet is designed for a specific cable size (13mm x 7mm entry). If your cables are thicker, you will need a larger grommet or an alternative cable management solution.

Plastic appears to be cracking during installation.

Do not force the grommet. Ensure the drilled hole is smooth and free from obstructions. If the plastic is brittle, it may be old or have been exposed to extreme temperatures; handle with care.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Neatly conceals cable entry points in walls.
  • Specifically sized for common twin coax cables.
  • Clear plastic blends well with most wall colors.
  • Provides a professional finish to installations.

Cons

  • Fixed hole entry size (13mm x 7mm) is not suitable for all cable types.
  • Requires a pre-drilled hole of the correct size.
  • Only suitable for twin cables; single cables will not fit securely.
  • Does not offer weatherproofing for external installations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Identify the desired location for cable entry through the wall.
  2. Drill a hole appropriate for the grommet's outer dimensions, ensuring it is a snug fit. The internal entry is 13mm x 7mm.
  3. Insert the plastic hole tidy into the drilled hole. It should fit firmly.
  4. Carefully feed the twin coax cables (e.g., Sky+ RG6/RG59) through the 13mm x 7mm opening.

Compatibility:

  • This grommet is specifically designed for twin coaxial cables with an outer diameter that allows them to pass through a 13mm x 7mm opening. This typically includes standard twin RG6 or RG59 cables.
  • It is *not* compatible with single cables or cables thicker than the specified 13mm x 7mm entry.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the plastic.
  • Ensure cables passing through are not kinked or excessively stressed.
