Anti-chafe material for cable protection
Anti-chafe material for cable protection
(OP)
What is a good material for protecting hard cables that touch against a sharp metal edge.
This is for gearshift cables and must be applied to the metal surface due to assembly issues.
I have seen silicone rubber extrusions would these be suitable.

this would eliminate the motion of the cable and leave only vibration as a possible long term failure due to contact.

Many cable grommets are made of polyurethane foams or elastomers and are very resistant to cutting from sharp metal edges. I would go for this solution.
