Product Information

Once you know the shape of grommet, the next thing to determine is the size of desk grommet required. Its important to make sure the size and diameter of the grommet can accommodate the wires and cables that need to be channelled through it. The best way to get an idea of this size is to, if possible, bundle the cables in question together and run a tape measure across the widest point of the bundle. This will give you the very minimum size the cable port / access hole would need to be – although in most cases you will want to leave some excess room for the cables to move unhindered and leave room if you need to add more cables so always round this size up.

So now we know what a desk grommet is and what it does its to time to think about which one we need. In most cases the first thing to decide when choosing a cable port is the shape: Cable ports are available in a selection of shapes and profiles – Round is typically the most popular shape, but grommets are also made for square, rectangular and even elliptical / oval holes. If you have a hole already drilled in your desk / worktop you will know exactly which shape desk grommet you will need. However, if the holes have not been drilled or made yet you can choose whichever shape you like the most or which shape best suits the table or desk they are going in to. As round is the most commonly used shape this offers the most choice in terms of available sizes, finishes and colours. When you have decided on your shape, size and required features the final option to consider is the material and finish of your port: Plastic Cable PortsBy definition a “grommet” is: ‘a ring of rubber or plastic or a metal eyelet designed to line a hole to prevent a cable or pipe passed through it from chafing’ so therefore we can assume a “Desk Grommet” serves the same purpose by lining a hole in a desktop to safely and neatly pass cables and wires through the desk without snagging and being caught on the rough edges of the hole. The most widely used material for desk grommets offers many options to choose from. There’s a selection of colours available to suit most desk tops / office interiors and some are even available in sprayed metallic finishes – offering a metallic look for the cost of plastic. Also, you can consider “floor grommets” which come in bigger size than desk grommets and are designed to be installed in the floor and therefore stood on / walked on meaning they are made to be more robust and stronger than standard plastic desk grommets. Metal Cable Ports You may have heard the term ‘Cable Port’ being used in the same capacity as Desk grommet and that’s because they are the same thing, ‘Cable Port’ is just a different term for a desk grommet. What size and shape do you need?

Available in a number of natural wood finishes, these ports can match / compliment standard wooden desk tops and add a different look to traditional plastic or metal ports. These ports use a flexible PVC top insert rather than traditional lid allowing cables, plugs and wires to easily be pushed through. The 1 piece design ensure that there are no unsightly holes on show. When shopping for the best desk grommets for your home office, it's best to take into consideration what you use your home office for. If you're someone who uses many different devices for work and constantly needs to charge devices, then you may need a grommet that also works as a power source. Typically only on traditional plastic ports; this refers to the design of the lid of cable port which can be span around to ‘blank off’ the hole when not in use to maintain a clean look. Standard plastic ports that do not spin to blank off will have a hole present at all times. Flex / Vent Grommet The Desktop Power Grommet is made from ABS plastic and is fire-resistant and incredibly durable. The voltage capacity is 125V and it comes with a standard 6.5 power cord. It also comes with a 24-month warranty, which is a plus if anything goes wrong.
