ABSTRACT:
A one piece fairlead grommet for protecting an aircraft control cable where penetrating a bulkhead or cable support panel. The fairlead grommet has a generally cylindrical body with frustro conically shaped flanges and a through-slot, generally, longitudinally oriented. The slot forms an angle with a radius line drawn from the center of the grommet bore to permit the slot surfaces to be readily offset and the grommet collapsed around the control cable for installation with the control cable in place. The slot is further biased on a diagonal with respect to the horizontal axis of the grommet bore to ensure a wearing surface in contact with the cable at the slot.
