DB15 — Metal Hood w Grommet Kit
D-Sub Connector Accessory
The DB15 Metal Hood with Grommet Kit is a durable back shell solution for protecting and finishing DB15 D-sub connector terminations. Built with a rugged metal shell, this hood helps shield internal wiring, improves strain relief, and provides a clean, professional cable exit for data, control, and legacy interface assemblies. The included grommet kit helps secure the cable jacket while reducing wear at the point of exit.
Why these fail
- Unprotected terminations are vulnerable to pull-out, flex damage, and broken solder joints.
- Low-quality backshells can loosen over time and cause intermittent connection issues.
- Missing or poor strain relief allows the cable jacket to chafe at the cable exit.
- Plastic hoods often crack under repeated service or in industrial environments.
Our solution
- Metal hood construction provides better durability than lightweight plastic shells.
- Included grommet kit helps support the cable and reduce jacket wear.
- Secure two-piece backshell design protects internal DB15 terminations.
- Clean, professional cable exit improves finished assembly appearance.
- Compatible with standard DB15 connectors used in data, control, and legacy interface cables.

Service & Coverage
DB15 metal hoods are commonly used in industrial control systems, serial and data assemblies, legacy computer interfaces, and AV signal cables where the connector termination needs added protection, better cable support, and a more durable finished enclosure.
Maintenance Tip
Match the grommet size to the cable diameter and tighten the hood hardware evenly so the cable is supported without crushing the jacket or stressing the internal conductors.
