ABSTRACT:
The present arrangement includes a support member which is formed to: (1) have tines extending from one end; and (2) have a threaded section lying adjacent to the beginning of the tines. In addition the present arrangement in the preferred embodiment includes a rubberized cone shaped insert which has an aperture therethrough and which enables a great number of different sized cables to be clamped. Further in addition there is included a compression nut which is internally threaded in one section, which is shaped internally concave in another section (and which has an aperture therethrough), and which is threaded onto said support member. Such threading action causes the tines to be bent inward toward one another and simultaneously to pass through the aperture of the compression nut. The tines are serrated on their respective inner surfaces and as they are bent toward each other they come in contact with the rubberized insert and act to clamp thereon which in turn secures the support member to a cable jacket. In addition, the present arrangement has a plug body, which in a preferred embodiment, is: (1) cylindrical in shape; (2) has a key protrusion disposed axially and internally along the plug body wall, and (3) has an internal key protrusion disposed around the perimeter thereof. Further in addition the present arrangement includes a plastic insert device which has a plurality of female receptacles therein and which has a first keyway to match the axial key and a second keyway to match the perimeter key. Accordingly when the insert is inserted into the plug body the insert is prevented from rotational movement as well as axial movement.
