KSS Snap Bushing for Cable Protection
The KSS snap bushing provides a simple way to protect electrical cables and wires where they pass through holes in metal panels, chassis and electrical enclosures.
The bushing snaps into the panel opening and covers the raw metal edge. As a result, it provides a smoother insulated surface around the cable entry point and helps protect the cable sheath from contact with sharp edges.
KSS manufactures the range from black Nylon 66 with a UL94V-2 flame rating.

Cable & Panel Bushing Applications
KSS nylon bushings suit applications including:
- Switchboards
- Control panels
- Electrical enclosures
- Metal chassis
- Machinery
- Equipment wiring
- Cable-entry points
- OEM electrical assemblies
- Industrial control equipment
- General cable protection
They are particularly useful where a cable needs to pass directly through a punched or drilled metal opening without using a cable gland.
Protecting Cables Through Metal Panels
A cut or punched metal panel can leave an edge that may damage a cable sheath through movement, vibration or contact.
Installing a snap bushing places an insulating Nylon 66 surface between the cable and the panel edge.
KSS specifies the range for protecting electrical cables, ropes and utility lines where they pass through metal openings.
