Have any of you drilled 2 holes in the vent base vs cutting the wire mesh. Seems the mesh could end up abrading to cable. I was thinking of sliding rubber insert washers on the cable and set them in the side of the base.
Not 2 holes. One hole for strain relief as mentioned several posts ago. There are fittings with 2 small holes, McMaster have it.
But you will have to cut the mesh a few inches to get access to the nut at the back of the fitting.
Yes, you may drill one or two holes and put a push-in rubber grommet, should work too. With cables fixed to the roof with blob of Dicor and again fixed to the cabinet wall with cable mounts, there won't be much movement.
Passing it through the mesh seems the least reliable attachment, though I don't think it will abrade.
