PANDUIT Adhesive Lined Grommet Edging
Protect cables and simplify cable management in data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise racks with PANDUIT Adhesive Lined Grommet Edging. This adhesive-backed edge trim provides durable protection against edge wear, easy installation, and a clean, professional finish for cabinet openings and panel edges.
- Superior protection for cables and panels: The adhesive lined grommet edging creates a shield against sharp metal edges and abrasion at panel openings. By maintaining a smooth surface along cable entries, it reduces wear and tear on insulation, helping extend cable life in high-density rack environments. This protection translates to fewer maintenance interruptions and longer intervals between cable replacements, making it a smart long-term investment for busy data centers.
- Effortless, tool-free installation: With a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, the edge trim adheres securely to clean metal surfaces without screws, nails, or specialized tools. The result is a fast installation that minimizes downtime during rack builds or upgrades, while offering a reliable, long-lasting bond that resists vibration and routine handling. This simple application also reduces labor costs and speeds up maintenance tasks when cabling configurations change.
- Flexible, durable construction for data centers: Designed to withstand daily flexing, heat, and humidity common in data centers and enterprise rooms, the edge trim maintains its integrity and appearance over time. The material resists cracking and maintains a snug fit around varying cable diameters, ensuring robust protection across diverse cable types, including power, data, and control lines. Its resilience helps keep panel openings tidy even under heavy use and frequent re-cabling.
- Versatile applications for every panel opening: Use on cabinet front and rear openings, rack side panels, or any edge where cables pass through. It helps create a neat, uniform entry for power and data cables, supporting better cable management, improved airflow, and easier serviceability. Whether you are deploying new equipment or upgrading an existing layout, the edging contributes to a professional, consistent look across the entire installation.
- Customizable fit and finish: Available in multiple lengths and profiles to fit standard cabinet cutouts, with color options that blend with equipment. The right size and style ensure a professional look while offering consistent protection and performance across your data center or network room. This flexibility makes it suitable for varied rack standards and panel geometries, reducing the need for additional adapters or trims.

How to install PANDUIT Adhesive Lined Grommet Edging
Follow these simple steps to achieve a secure, durable installation with minimal downtime:
- Prepare the surface: Clean, dry, and free of oil or dust where the edge trim will be applied. A clean surface ensures optimal adhesion and long-lasting performance.
- Measure and cut: Determine the exact length needed for the opening and cut the adhesive-backed edge trim to size with sharp scissors or a precise knife for clean edges.
- Remove release liner: Carefully peel away the protective liner to expose the adhesive backing, taking care not to touch the adhesive with dirty or oily hands.
- Position and apply: Align the edge trim along the panel edge and press firmly in place, applying even pressure across the entire length. Start at one end and work toward the other to minimize bubbles or gaps.
- Secure and cure: After installation, apply sustained pressure for 20–30 seconds at regular intervals to ensure contact. Allow the adhesive to cure under normal operating conditions before routing cables through the opening to maximize bond strength.
Frequently asked questions
- What is PANDUIT Adhesive Lined Grommet Edging? It is an edge trim with a built-in adhesive backing designed to protect cables and provide a clean, protected entry through panel openings in cabinets, racks, and cable management installations. The product helps prevent wear on cables and reduces the risk of damage from sharp panel edges.
- Where should I use it? In data centers, telecommunications equipment rooms, and enterprise networking environments, especially at cabinet openings and panel edges where cables pass through. It’s a versatile solution for both new builds and retrofits, contributing to a neater, more maintainable cabling infrastructure.
- Is the adhesive removable? The adhesive backing is designed for secure, semi-permanent mounting; removal or relocation may require reapplication depending on surface condition and aging of the adhesive. For best results, follow manufacturer guidelines and consider testing on a small area before full deployment.
- Are there different sizes? Yes, available in multiple lengths and profiles to fit a range of panel openings and cable densities. Selecting the appropriate size helps ensure a snug fit and optimal edge protection.
- Will it affect airflow? When used to organize and protect cables, it can help maintain clean cable routes, which supports more efficient airflow and cooling in dense equipment environments. Properly routed cables reduce obstruction in front of vents and fans, contributing to improved thermal performance.
