Cable guide?? Wrong. If it was a cable guide you would be able to open the hole to attach the wire otherwise it wouldn't fit due to the plug. [This site is about Lego.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego)

You can, definitely, use this piece as you have described, but this isn't its primary use. Especially, within other LEGO items.

<p>After a lot of circus and calisthenics with a magnifying glass and lamp, I'm still unable to read the part number. I've also clicked thru' about 180 pages of LEGO 'Pick a Brick' and didn't find it there. </p>

<p>Could someone please help me identify this part number? Apologies in advance for my failing eyesight :)</p>
