Panduit GEE36FR-CY Slotted Grommet Edging

The Panduit GEE36FR-CY is a 100-foot roll of slotted grommet edging engineered to protect cables and wires from abrasion and jacket damage at panel penetrations, knockouts, and chassis cutouts. Constructed from UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant polyethylene with a 0.036" wall thickness, this edging is designed for commercial installations where cable protection, fire code compliance, and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. The slotted design allows snap-on installation without disconnecting terminated cables, making it ideal for retrofit work in server rooms, electrical enclosures, security equipment racks, and access control panels.

Key Features

100-foot continuous roll reduces waste and minimizes seams on long runs or multi-panel installations

UL 94 V-0 flammability rating meets National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for flame-retardant materials in plenum-adjacent and equipment spaces

Slotted longitudinal opening enables installation over pre-terminated cables without disassembly or re-pulling

0.036" polyethylene wall thickness provides durable edge coverage while remaining flexible enough to conform to irregular panel cutouts

Natural color integrates into rack and enclosure interiors without drawing attention to cable entry points

RoHS compliant for projects with environmental procurement standards or export requirements

The edging measures 0.11" wide by 0.12" high (2.7 mm × 3 mm), dimensioned to fit standard knockout and panel-hole edge profiles commonly found in NEMA enclosures, server racks, and junction boxes. The polyethylene formulation is chosen for its combination of flexibility, abrasion resistance, and flame retardance—critical properties when cables pass through steel or aluminum panels where vibration, thermal cycling, or accidental contact can wear through PVC or low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cable jackets over time. Installation requires no adhesive or fasteners: the slotted profile snaps onto the panel edge and grips via friction, staying in place even when cables are later added or moved. For new construction, installers typically apply the edging before cable pull; for service calls or expansions, the slit allows threading over existing home-runs without de-terminating patch cords, SFPs, or power connectors.

Common deployment scenarios include data center hot-aisle containment panels where fiber and copper bundles transition between cabinets, security head-end racks where dozens of camera home-runs enter through stamped knockouts, and industrial control enclosures where sensor cables pass through chassis walls near sharp-edged relay mounts or DIN rail cutouts. The UL 94 V-0 rating is essential in these contexts: it certifies the material will self-extinguish within 10 seconds of flame removal and will not produce flaming drips, a requirement for equipment installed within 5 feet of HVAC plenums or in spaces governed by NFPA 70 Article 300.22. The 100-foot roll length is sized for mid-scale projects—enough to edge 40–50 standard knockout holes or line the cable-entry walls of a 10-rack row—and reduces the per-foot cost compared to pre-cut segments while avoiding the inventory burden of 500-foot bulk spools.

This edging is specified by integrators and facility managers when the installation includes plenum-rated cabling (where jacket protection extends fire safety), when cables are subject to Movement or repositioning (the slotted design makes future adds non-destructive), or when the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requires documented flame ratings for all materials in the signal path. For mixed-media environments—copper + fiber, low-voltage + PoE—the single-part-number solution simplifies BOM planning and ensures uniform edge protection across the entire cable plant.
