ABSTRACT:
An electrical junction box is disclosed in one aspect of the present invention as including a housing; two or more wiring ports formed in the housing to accommodate electrical wiring routed into the housing; and tabs resiliently connected to the housing and substantially covering the wiring ports. The orientation of the tabs is varied to accommodate wiring entering the wiring ports from different directions. Due to their resilient characteristics, the tabs deflect upon routing wire through the wiring ports and allow the tabs to clamp down on the wires.
