Default GROMMETS, Sleeve, No. 2

Can anyone confirm if these are interchangable with, and serve the same purpose as, PROTECTORS, Cable? Both would be 1-11/16 inches long and held in place by a CLAMPS, Retaining, No. 4 with two ANC Round Head slotted 4-40 screws, lock washers and hex nuts.

I think the grommets might be early issue, made of rubber, and they could have been replaced by the protectors, which were of a metal coil spring design.

These were used on the 19-Set Control and Distribution Boxes to support the 5-pin drop cords where they exited the sides of the boxes.

I would think that they are interchangable. FZ256/3 lists both for any control box as:
grommets, sleeve #2, OR
protectors, cable, 1 11/16" L AND washers, steel, extruded 13/16" OD, 13/32 ID, 0.1" Deep.

This tells me the same box can use either. I have both types but I don't know what came first.

Hi Bruce.

I have seen both types on Canadian made boxes over the years, but only the rubber ones on American made boxes. Not sure if these were another product affected by rubber shortages, or just two variations of the same idea.
