Does anybody know the mounting dimensions of the USB C Round Panel Mount Extension Cable? The description says "The adapter is about 30mm in diameter", but is this the drill-hole size or the outer diameter? I have a 35mm hole, will this be too small or is the outer diameter large enough?
There is a drawing in the product page, but the drawing includes no dimensions other than the length. The mounting dimensions is arguably the most important dimension.

Re: Hole-diameter for USB C Round Panel Mount Extension Cabl
There's this https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/product-f ... agrams.pdf for a similar part that has similar stats. Specifically, the nuts description is the same FWIW "NUT BLACK PVC 27P MOLDED". It shows a threaded section diameter of 21.7 mm.
My approach would be to get it, measure it, and cut an appropriate hole.

I've also suggested that all the relevant x(and precise) dimensions be given for these products. Beyond that people are looking into it. Stay tuned.

Re: Hole-diameter for USB C Round Panel Mount Extension Cabl
Thanks!
I think it's likely these are the same diameter product for the panel-mount because I would expect the manufacturer to re-use the same design for similar products like this. 28mm is close to the "about 30mm" from the product I linked, so my guess is that's the outer dimension for all of these.
Unfortunately, I have pre-drilled holes and I was hoping this could fit. I might just go ahead and drill my own though since this seems to be the only USB-C pass-through out there other than ones designed for car BANNED-ette lighter holes.
P.S. why is "BANNED-ette" a banned word??

Re: Hole-diameter for USB C Round Panel Mount Extension Cabl
If the drawing is correct the diameter comes out to 27mm so I would think 28mm is OK. The flange seems to be 36mm. (using BigPrint to measure) I don't have one to measure though.
