Cable grommets are one of the furniture accessories which enable the desired cable routing and proper masking of the openings in which they are located. Nowadays, furniture is commonly equipped with special cut-outs allowing for the placement of appropriately sized cable grommets. Their main purpose is to provide convenience and protect against constant tangling of cables under feet. No more catching on protruding cables and damaging the electronic equipment to which they are connected!
