what do you call this device?

General Questions
#1

I’m sure there’s a term for this, but it escapes me at the moment. What do you call the feature on a cable/wire/hose that increases the OD so that it cannot pull through a hole which is large enough for the cable/wire/hose to pass through if it were not for this feature?
feature X [ ]

barrier w/ thru hole

please excuse the really, really crappy illustration.

Oh heavens, should have previewed that. Totally ignore the now completely useless illustration.

:frowning:

#3

A snowman?
But seriously folks. I know what you mean. I just always called it a clamp/blocker thing

#4

On a pipe you would call it a flange. I think the same term might apply for cable & hose.

#5

On some cables and wires, it is called a knot.

#6

“Collar” comes to mind, especially for any such thing that could be added to the hose or moved along the hose.

Wires generally would be fixed in place with a “strain relief”

#7

Strain relief fittings
