Skywalker Single Feed-Through Cable Bushings (White / 100 Pieces)

I recently purchased the White Skywalker Signature Series Single Feed-Through Cable Bushings. Let me share my experience with this product: Quality and Durability: These feed-through bushings are made of ABS plastic and are UV-stabilized. They feel sturdy and can withstand outdoor conditions, including weather, insects, and rodents. Have installed these both on the interior and exterior walls. Functionality: The primary purpose of these bushings is to provide a clean installation for coaxial cables, low voltage cables, and more. They seal wall openings effectively, preventing abrasion damage to the cables. Whether you’re a professional installer or a DIY enthusiast, these bushings are a must-have to make it all look professional! Easy Installation: Each bushing accommodates a single coaxial cable. To install, you’ll need a 1/2-inch pre-drilled hole in the wall. Use a silicone sealant (sold separately) for a weather-proof seal. Quantity: The package includes 100 bushings, which is more than enough for most installations. Having extras is always handy! Affordable: At an affordable price, these bushings offer great value. They’re perfect for both indoor and outdoor cable routing. In summary, the Skywalker Signature Series Single Feed-Through Cable Bushings are reliable, weatherproof, and essential for any cable management setup. Whether you’re organizing cables for home theater systems or network installations, these bushings get the job done. Highly recommended!

Exactly as described, good quality. Great if you’re looking to buy in bulk. I actually only needed about 30 or so for a wood planter project but it was still cheaper than buying 10 packs. I’m using them as drain spouts at the bottom of the planters.

Priced right, arrived quickly, would have given 5 stars except for one little problem. The product description says it requires a 1/2" predrilled hole. I believe this is either incorrect or I was sent wrong size (which I doubt). With a 1/2" hole they fall right out, on ceiling anyway. I used a 3/8" drill and with a slight hammer tap they went right in and appear to work fine. I was able to fit 3 pairs of speaker wires (3rd was tight but fit). Now I just need to patch that first 1/2" hole.

Ya, I got the bag full and worked out great.

I know what you are thinking: "Bob, this thing is a simple piece of plastic that you shove in a hole and move on with life". You'd be right, sure. But something else to consider: The spines are rigid, and you are forcing it into sheetrock which crumbles away to make room. When you are done, the sheetrock is the same/slightly larger size than the item you just forced in. The spines aren't like a porcupine or something. They don't auto expand like sheetrock anchors. It's like hammering in a sheetrock screw and expecting the screw to stay in place. So just keep in mind that you'll probably have to adhere the bushing to the wall/hole in some manner even though it has spines. These are "paintable", which means you will want to lightly sand and prime if you want the paint to stay on - so at least sand it before you glue it into the wall. The hole works fine for the 14AWG mediabridge white cable that is sold here on Amazon but it is tight. The thing to consider when using 14AWG is that you won't be pulling it through the bushing after you install it. Think about it: This bushing extends at a 90 degree angle through the wall. The cable is likely coming to the bushing on a plane similar to the wall itself. Good luck making that friction point work in your favor while trying not to rip the bushing out. So my advice is to install the bushing around the cable and pull out the desired length of cable prior to gluing it into the wall. My only suggestion, behind reinventing it to make it self securing in a realistic way while installed in sheetrock: make the back end split/splayed in some manner to allow cables to curve into the back of it instead of a 90.

These cable bushings are made well and fit flush on the interior and exterior walls I use them on. I have a 12" drill bit that lets me drill through both sides of the wall in one operation. Once installed, the bushings grip well and hold tightly against the wall. When painting, I use some fine sandpaper to dull the slick plastic first. To keep insects and air incursion out of the house, I stuff a small amount of poly-stuffing (think pillows and toys) around the cable. This product was a bargain when compared to Home Depot's offering.

Excellent price...the quality is just as good. I hope the seller adds some photos with exact dimensions so people don't have to guess the size. Will buy again!

As others have said, it relies on the barbs to hold, but once you've punched it in, you by definition have cleared out that material from stopping it. The result is that it freely falls out unless it's attached. Everywhere else in the world grommets and bushings have a mechanism to provide tension and tighten down. These should be maybe twice as long and have threading on the inside. Then you could push these through an exterior wall, and then apply wings to the interior to keep tension and prevent water intrusion with some putty. As-is as soon as you push on the cable the bushing happily pops out along with the cable. I kind of solved this to some degree by tying a string around the barbs and manually holding tension while pushing and pulling cable through. But I'm not sure if it'll slowly work itself out over time and I'll need to go up on a ladder and push these back in later or not. I used duct seal liberally around the barbs and a ring around the outside component and it seems like it should make a great seal as long as tension stays on the bushing. I tried caulking but it didn't stick/seal as well.

Enough robist. Easy to install.
