Square D panel plastic bottom of cabinet

[Jpflex]

I’m used to standard metal knockouts for terminating NM cable (Romex) with a standard NM connector, but what are these plastic pieces where knockouts are usually placed on the bottom of this cabinet?

Are plastic table to be removed similar to a plastic mail in box for NM cable? And if so what would serve as the required connector from NM cable to cabinet?

This is a single phase 100 ampere square D Homeline load center

They create a vacuum for replacement panels in walls.

I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.

A joke? I not sure what you mean?

Creating a vacuum means sucking. They suck.

It's harder to get existing cables in these than real cable connectors in existing walls.

I'm sure they're okay for new/exposed work.

not really, don't like them either. I think they made them for the GC or handyman that can't figure out a real KO.

The panel can not be slid up or down on the cables, so there's little vertical play.

It's worse if you are not making the opening taller at either or both ends.

Is that what you meant?
