Can EPDM rubber grommets be used in both indoor and outdoor telecom installations in the Northeast?

Yes, EPDM rubber grommets are versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor telecom and electrical installations, especially in the challenging environmental conditions of the Northeast. Their excellent resistance to moisture, UV exposure, ozone, and temperature extremes makes them suitable for protecting cables in indoor panels as well as exposed outdoor enclosures subjected to New Jersey's high humidity, coastal salt air, and nor'easter storms.

Indoor use benefits from EPDM's insulating and vibration dampening properties, reducing wear on cables as they pass through metal or plastic panels. Outdoors, EPDM maintains a robust environmental seal that helps prevent corrosion and ingress of contaminants, aligning with NEC requirements for raceway and enclosure integrity.
