[QUOTE="binky, post: 509558, member: 490"] The cable hole grommets supplied with many boards, once you have pushed cable through them, leave lots of gaps. You can get keen and use lots of TRS glands, except half the metal boards have insufficient knock-outs to accomodate enough TRS glands. Another favoruite is to run large setion trunking over the knock-outs, but then you have to ask wheter or not said trunking is truly fire retardent (it's supposed to be). So, silicone is just as useful as a way of sealing cable entries as any other method on an exisitng installation, not that I've done that for many years, but beats changing a board unneccessarily at great cost. It's just another way of achieving a suitable IP rating. [/QUOTE]
