Looking for a 2 hole snap on wire grommet

I would like to pair up some RG-174 used in a bridge instrument as leads to the clips. I want to be able to pair off the two clips however, what I would like is a snap on wire clasp with 2 guide holes to hold the two coaxes together as single lead or, just a oval channel would be fine.. This is to have no sharp edges and design to be exposed to users.

It would be nice if it could wrap around the two cables and snap together, so that later it could be un snapped to replace a coax if needed, or if they are cheap enough we could just snap on new one.

This is sort of like a ladder line grouping fastener but I don't need the spacing as such and should have no provided holes for panel mountings.. sort of like a wrap around snap on grommet.

Does any one have a name for this?

What you probably need is a D-type mixed signal connector with a couple of coaxial inserts. Most of them seemed to be designed to work with RG-174, but we used them with semi-rigid coax and "conformable coax" when we were being hyper-careful with our high-frequency signals.

You can put a socket into the front panel and plug an ordered group of coax cables into it, and use the usual D-type connector locks to keep everything together.

If you've got lots of coax cables, mixed-signal DIN-41612 connectors can accommodate more of them.

If you described what you were trying to do in a little more detail, one might be able to be more helpful.

What on earth are "the clips" doing? Just grabbing the outside of the cables?

Yes bill, I simply want to pair some RG-174. I have 6 feet of 2 pairs, each pair is a connection to the bridge circuit, I need to keep these pairs from getting tangled since all four coaxes are coming out of a module plug and the outer 2's need to be paired for each clip.

I want to use removeable/replaceable bonnet type clips when it comes time to replace a coax, which it will happen..

For now, the prototype will be using neoprene O-rings.. At least they can make adjustments to the spaceing at the end before the kelvin clips

So tie the outer 2's together by feeding them through two separate mixed-signal D-type connector bodies

You can fill the third gap with a power connector pin to make sure the two connectors aren't identical and thus can't be plugged in in the wrong order.

What's wrong with cable ties? You'd have to discard them when you wanted to discard the coaxial cable, but they are a lot cheaper than coax. You can figure-of-eight loop them if you don't want to risk distorting the coaxial cable.

Twisted pairs, just like regular signal cable; heatshrink-banded ends, prior to leaddressing or termination.
