Abstract
A multi-wire cable grommet constructed of a pliable material has a plurality of apertures extending therethrough and wire-sealing wall portions, one for each cable wire. Centrally located and extending angularly inwardly from the aperture wall is a generally cone-shaped wall portion which terminates in an opening smaller than the wire diameter. The opening in the cone-shaped portion lies on the aperture axis and is encompassed by a bead with wall thickness being relatively thin so that any wire movements transversely of the aperture axis will be taken up by bending of the conical wall rather than by any tendency of the conical member opening bead to be stretched away from sealing relationship with the wire.
