Split Ethernet Cable Pass Throughs for my Enclosure

10/29/2021

I need to pass an Ethernet cable through the back cover of my enclosure so I am making this.  It is to allow me to run the cable for the display for my JKTech Smart Controller, which I extended using Ethernet, into the enclosure (and then it will go into an electronics compartment I'm still working on.  The shell of my enclosure is 4mm thick so that's what these are designed for.  These pass through grommets are untested while I wait for a 7' Monoprice Slimrun Cat6 Cable. 

There are two versions shown, one is designed for a 3/4" hole and should pass the Ethernet RJ45 through, while the smaller one is only designed to pass the cable through.  Since I plan to cut one end off the cable anyway, I will be using the smaller design.  The split design is not really needed for the smaller one for my use, but I want to see if it will work (and I think it may be more handy for other types of cables like USB where I may not want to cut the end off).  The orange and cyan color parts are meant to be printed in TPU and will act as a cable strain relief and grommet.  I may post one or both of these if ithey work out OK.

Update 1/6/2022 - this works, I just have not had time to post it with the other projects (and I still need to install it).  I will add it to the ever growing list of stuff to do.
