Tension is applied parallel to the axis of the hole. A durable plate and the wall (the one with the hole) compress the elastic material to create a waterproof seal for both the hole connector and the transmission line.
The hole connector is made with a double-end male thread with an inner diameter(hydraulic nipple). A nut and O-ring are used to mount and seal one thread end to the case wall's hole.

Summary

The objective is a waterproof, corrosion-resistant, chemical-resistant, impact-resistant, redeployable device that mounts onto the material surrounding a hole and allows electrical transmission through that hole.

The hole connector applies tension with an elastic, fine contact material on the cross-sectional perimeter of a transmission line that passes through the hole.

The hole connector is made with a double-end male thread with an inner diameter(hydraulic nipple). A nut and O-ring are used to mount and seal one thread end to the case wall's hole.
