Where can i get white cable grommet for dryline

[kilo_4que]

The cable is coming from behind and to some extent is concealed however at certain angle the hole would be visible

Then it's not behind....

If for some reason I wanted to fit a surface pattress with a switch or socket etc, rather than a flush one, I wouldn't have the cable coming out of the wall next to it, I'd have it behind it...

Do you think its a good idea having something similar to these fit into the floor from which the cables appear rather than have the cable coming through the wall and having an issue keeping the hole neat?

I'm getting confused now - do these cables come out of the floor or the wall?

Firstly yes they are coming from behind but some some devices are as such that they cant be fixed flush to the wall hence a gap is visible behind where the cable hole is visible from certain angles

For your second question.

That is a seperate issue im trying to tackle.

The single cable grommets i need for devices where of course a single cable is coming out of the wall for like a PIR etc

The multiple cables problem ive raised is for my CAT5e cables that are going to be bundled together for my computer netwokr and connect into the network hub. I need to "neaten" that hole where they are going to appear from and if i have several cables appearing from the wall, god knows how id neaten them likewise im assuming i would have to get them to appear from the edge of the floor or something

thanks

Well I'm not arguing, as you've got them there and I haven't, but I'm curious to know what they are, and why flush or proper surface mount options don't exist.

So are these PIRs one of the items that don't sit flush to the surface of the wall?

Don't have them coming out of a hole - terminate them in RJ45 outlets and plug the hub in....

The PIRs are not of these devices which are not flush to the wall however can also have a similar issue since they are to sit in the corners.

Regarding the Cat5, according to my calculation I shall have 10 seperate cat5e cables coming out likewise I would need a faceplate that can handle 10 rj45 modules or alternatively have 2 quad faceplates and 1 dual which would look rather silly to be honest. I actually did think of this before as it would have been the most easiest option in that all I would have to done after terminating the cat5s is to connect the ethernet ports to the hub directly which would have been less messy as well. However with at least 10 RJ45 modules I dont how I could do this neatly unless you know of an idea which I can try

Get a wall-mounted patch panel, or a small rack-mount one (I think there's a 12" rack standard) and fit it into a suitable enclosure.

personally I would put the hub somewhere that looks don't matter too much.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Yes, but you still wouldn't have the cables coming out of a gash in the wall....

I certainly wouldn't bother with a patch panel or a load of outlet plates clustered together for a hub/switch/router in a domestic network. Anyway I don't see how the patch panel helps because they are designed to be mounted in a rack cabinet not on a wall so the cables still have to come out of the wall/floor/ceiling before going to the panel.

I'd say make a small compartment in a built in cupboard (or a small dedicated cupboard) for the switch and then just have the cable come stairght out of the floor/ceiling/wall and connect to the switch.

You can get small (smaller than 19" rack size) 10-12 port surface mounting (with an enclosure) patch panels...

Why not have a brush faceplate then ?

Btw guys, it turned out i didnt need these grommet things after all except for in one situation where i need something to neaten a hole.

Baiscally all the PIR cables were coming in directly from behind where the PIR was to be fixed to the wall hence the PIR would have covered these cable holes. However I face a problem with one of the PIR locations. Well the location was perfect but getting the cable to that location was pretty much impossible unless I was to pass it through from the corner of a ceiling. Now the issue I have is that the cable is coming in from above where the PIR is to sit and although it would be fixed right in the corner, the cable hole would still be visible. Likewise I need something to neaten the hole up.

/My relative dropped off some of these grommets and do be honest they looked rubbish, they are a manky creamy colour and dont look all that either. Therefore what do you guys suggest

thanks
