Default Bushing Size for RG400
Does anyone know what size plastic bushing/grommet will accomodate a RG400 cable? I dont have a piece in front of me at the moment.

You don't have to clear the bushing hole with the BNC.
You can split the bushing, snap it around the cable, then snap it into the hole.

Charlie,

RG-400 is snug (but possible) going through a SB375-3 but plenty of wiggle room going through a SB375-4.
