Middle Atlantic VWM 6INCH Brush FOR Backpan - VWM-6BR-BP

Middle Atlantic VWM-6BR-BP 6-Inch Cable Entry Brush for VWM Backpan

Overview

The Middle Atlantic VWM-6BR-BP is a 6-inch brush-style cable entry grommet designed specifically for Middle Atlantic VWM series backpans. If you're building out a structured AV or security enclosure and need a clean, professional cable pass-through without cutting open airways or leaving ragged holes, this is the dedicated solution for that backpan opening. It ships as a single unit and is part of the broader Middle Atlantic cable management line.

Brush grommets like the VWM-6BR-BP serve a specific function in cable management installations: they allow bundled cables to pass through a panel opening while blocking dust, reducing EMI ingress points, and giving the installation a finished appearance — all without impeding future cable additions or changes. The flexible brush bristles conform around cables of varying diameters, so you're not locked into a fixed knockout size.

Compatibility

The VWM-6BR-BP is engineered to fit the 6-inch opening on Middle Atlantic VWM series backpans. If your backpan opening is a different size, verify the opening dimension before ordering — Middle Atlantic offers brush grommets in multiple sizes within the VWM accessory family. This grommet is not a universal fit for generic rack panels or third-party enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is a tool-free drop-in for compatible VWM backpan cutouts. The brush insert seats into the opening and holds position without fasteners. Cable routing can be reconfigured after initial installation without removing the grommet — a practical advantage in environments where cable plants change over time, such as control rooms, security operations centers, or AV integration racks. At 1.5 lbs shipping weight, the VWM-6BR-BP (often searched as VWM 6BR BP) ships as a single piece.

Eden Phillips

The VWM-6BR-BP is a detail that separates a finished installation from a rough one. As a dedicated brush grommet for Middle Atlantic VWM backpans, it closes off the 6-inch cable entry opening cleanly — the kind of spec-matched fit you don't get from a generic aftermarket grommet.

Technical Highlights:

• Backpan-Specific Fit: Designed for the 6-inch VWM backpan opening — no adapter, no improvisation, no gap around the brush perimeter that undermines the purpose of having a grommet at all.
• Brush-Style Entry: Flexible bristles accommodate varying cable bundle diameters and allow cable changes without grommet removal — practical in any installation where the cable plant isn't frozen at commissioning.
• Single-Unit Packaging: Ships as one piece (Package Qty: 1, 1.5 lbs shipping weight), which matters when you're ordering per-opening rather than in bulk kits.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm your VWM backpan opening is 6 inches before ordering — Middle Atlantic makes multiple brush grommet sizes and ordering the wrong one means a return, not a workaround.
• This grommet is not rated or documented for EMI shielding or fire-stop applications; if your installation has code requirements for penetration sealing, you need a rated firestop solution, not a brush grommet.

Best fit for AV integrators and security rack builders finishing out a Middle Atlantic VWM backpan in a control room, security operations center, or structured wiring closet — anywhere a clean cable entry matters and the backpan is already spec'd.
