ABSTRACT:
A cable mount comprises a tubular body having a radially enlarged flange and retaining fingers axially spaced from and inclined toward the enlarged flange adapted to retain the mount within an apertured panel. The cable mount also includes an axial extension including one part of a two-piece ball and socket connection. A second piece of the ball and socket connection is provided on a cable accessory such as a tubular sheath which can therefore be swivelly mounted with respect to the cable mount. Another cable accessory comprises a barrier cap which covers the opening in the apertured panel and a registering opening in any trim material covering the panel. In addition, an integral cable assembly according to the present invention includes a pair of cable mounts and any mating cable accessories such as sheaths or barrier caps, and these components are entrained between the ends of the cable by an enlarged terminus at each end of the cable.
