Middle Atlantic NM2015 Ivory NM TEE Cable Grommet
Overview
The Middle Atlantic NM2015 is an ivory NM TEE cable grommet sized for 3/4 IN openings, built for AV racks, furniture pass-throughs, and workstation cutouts where cable bundles need a clean, finished edge instead of a raw hole. At 1.826" L x 1.277" W x 0.800" H and just 0.019 lbs, the NM2015 is a small-footprint component meant to be specified in quantity across a job — conference room credenzas, control room consoles, and integrated furniture runs where dozens of identical grommets need to match in color and mount the same way every time. The model number NM2015 identifies the ivory colorway in the NM2000 TEE grommet family, and it's worth noting the manufacturer's own overview field lists this part as "NM TEE NM2000 IVORY" even though the evidence-verified color field reads gray — spec the physical sample against your furniture finish before ordering in volume.
Key Features
- 3/4 IN sized opening: matches a standard 3/4" furniture or rack cutout, so you're not reaming out an oversized hole or shimming an undersized one to make the grommet seat correctly.
- Horizontal/Vertical mounting: the NM2015 isn't orientation-locked, which matters when your cable pass-through runs through a vertical rack rail in one bay and a horizontal desktop surface in the next — one part number covers both without re-specifying.
- UL and CSA listed: both marks matter if this grommet is going into a commercial installation that gets inspected — UL for US jobs, CSA for anything crossing into Canada, so you're not scrambling for a compliant substitute mid-project.
- Compact 1.826" L x 1.277" W x 0.800" H profile: low-profile enough to sit flush in furniture applications where a bulky grommet would interfere with drawer clearance or adjacent equipment.
- 0.019 lbs per unit: negligible shipping and handling weight, which matters when a bill of materials calls for dozens of these across a multi-rack or multi-room buildout — freight cost stays a non-issue.
- NM2000 TEE family part: shares the TEE grommet geometry across the broader NM2000 line, so color-matching against other NM TEE parts on the same job is straightforward if the project spec calls for a uniform ivory finish throughout.
Integration & Compatibility
The NM2015 is a passthrough accessory, not a rack unit — it doesn't carry its own RU height or chassis footprint, so it pairs with whatever AV furniture and rack enclosures the job already specifies rather than dictating rack layout on its own. Because it mounts in either orientation, the same NM2015 part number works whether you're finishing a hole in a rack-mounted cable management panel or a horizontal desktop cutout in a credenza. If you're speccing a full rack build around it, a rack planning guide is worth a pass before finalizing grommet counts and locations — getting cable pass-through positions right the first time avoids re-cutting furniture later. For projects sourcing from the broader Middle Atlantic catalog, confirm the ivory finish visually against a sample before committing to a full order, given the discrepancy between the listed overview text and the verified color field.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size opening does the NM2015 fit?
A: The NM2015 is sized for a 3/4 IN cutout or pass-through opening.
Q: Can the NM2015 be mounted vertically?
A: Yes. The NM2015 supports both horizontal and vertical mounting orientations.
Q: Is the NM2015 UL listed?
A: Yes, the NM2015 is UL and CSA listed.
Q: What color is the NM2015?
A: The manufacturer overview lists this part as the ivory colorway in the NM2000 TEE series; verified product data lists the color as gray. Confirm the finish against a sample before ordering in volume.
Q: How much does the NM2015 weigh?
A: Each NM2015 weighs 0.019 lbs.
The NM2015 is a small part with a specific job: finish a 3/4 IN cable pass-through cleanly. On paper it looks trivial, but on a furniture-heavy AV job where you're speccing forty or fifty of these across credenzas and control positions, getting the mounting orientation and finish right the first time saves a lot of rework.
Technical Highlights:
- 3/4 IN cutout sizing: matches standard furniture and rack pass-through dimensions, so no field modification of the hole is needed before the grommet seats.
- Horizontal/Vertical mounting: one part number covers both desktop and rack-rail orientations, which cuts the number of distinct SKUs on a BOM when a job mixes furniture types.
- UL and CSA dual listing: covers inspection requirements on both US and Canadian commercial installs without needing a separate part for cross-border projects.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 1.826" L x 1.277" W x 0.800" H, this sits flush in most furniture cutouts, but confirm clearance against adjacent drawers or equipment before finalizing furniture layout.
- The manufacturer overview text reads "NM TEE NM2000 IVORY" while the verified color field lists gray — pull a physical sample against your furniture finish before ordering in bulk, since a color mismatch across dozens of units on a visible credenza run is a costly fix.
Specify the NM2015 where a project's furniture BOM calls for matched, low-profile cable grommets across multiple stations — a multi-position control room build with identical credenza cutouts is exactly the kind of job where one part number in quantity, rather than a mix of ad hoc grommets, keeps the finish consistent station to station.
