Wall Plugs with Bristles to allow any cables through?

Hi

We're in the process of mounting the projector to the ceiling, and that means shoving some cables through the walls. That's all good, but where the cables enter the wall I don't just want a gaping hole.

I remember ages ago seeing someone's home cinema thread and they had used these wall plugs with black bristles on, which you can shove any amount of cables through that you like. I've been scanning the net, but can't even find mention of them (partly because I don't know what they're called I suspect).

Does anyone know where I can get some?

Jez

Those ones from Aldous Systems are just the sort of thing I was looking for. Not sure on the price though!

Cheers chaps

Re: Wall Plugs with Bristles to allow any cables through?

Well unfortunately, it says that those are only available to registered members, and to register I need to download a form, print it off, fill it in and fax it back to them - which I understandably can't be bothered with.

Does anyone know of any other site where I'd be able to get hold of these things (here, the ones at the top)?

Cheers

Jezzer
